Abstract
The Lisbon Treaty was meant to provide Europe with new capacities in terms of foreign policy and defense. Yet it has not resolved some major issues Europe is facing, including coherence between institutions, questions of military capacity, and above all the lack of unity of purpose stemming from the divergence of national policies. The Union can henceforth only move forward by redefining its limited ambitions, according to its wishes and means.
