Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic, rough relationships between the most important geopolitical actors (the USA and China), the constant shifts of terrorist phenomenon, and the zombification of economy - all of these are early signals that the global security system is in great distress. The UN seems to lose the compass in this dynamics, failing to provide informed and strong answers to the crisis, giving up control to smaller, regional or specialised, and more practical institutions. In this context, it seems that the EU gets anew opportunity to shape the global security environment, as it has all the instruments necessary to tackle it.
