The journal focuses on the European Union's external relations, including its diplomatic and economic interactions with global powers like China, its Indo-Pacific policies, and its engagement with post-communist regions through enlargement and neighborhood policies. It also examines the EU's role in shaping norms and values, its soft power, and its responses to geopolitical shifts, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the rise of multipolarity.
