Beyond 2010 European Grand Strategy in a Global Age
The Venusberg Group is a high-level group of security and defence experts from across Europe
brought together by the Bertelsmann Stiftung in Guetersloh and the Center for Applied Policy
Research (CAP) in Munich to examine the future of EU security policy. The Group was formed in
early 1999 following a meeting that took place at a hotel on the Venusberg near Bonn, close to
the Petersberg where in 1992 European leaders established the basis for EU defence.
After “Enhancing the European Union as an International Security Actor” (2000) and “A
European Defence Strategy” (2004), “Beyond 2010. European Grand Strategy in a Global Age”
is the third report of the Venusberg Group. The report is based on a series of in-depth discussions
and input papers by the group members. Julian Lindley-French, in addition to his own
contribution, then brought the many strands together through the drafting of this report.
