In this collection of essays, the authors offer ideas on the key foreign policy changes the EU will need to make during the forthcoming year. They identify what they think will be ten of the primary challenges requiring significant EU decisions during 2011. This is clearly not an exhaustive list of important topics; rather, it is their attempt to draw out a list of foreign policy priorities. In these ten areas, they focus on potential crunch-points likely to engender urgent policy considerations for the Union. The authors do not offer comprehensive overviews of the state-of-play in each policy area; instead, they draw out the crucial events and trends that will require concrete responses. They aim here to predict the main challenges for which European foreign policy must prepare in 2011.
