Since its founding, the European Union has been absent in the development of a strategy for the region, an absence that has recently ended with the publication of national strategies of three member states (France, Germany, and the Netherlands), as well such as the EU announcement of a future EU strategy for the region. This paradigm shift may mark the beginning not only of greater European cohesion in terms of strategic projection, but also of greater European geopolitical assertiveness in a post-COVID-19 world in the Indo-Pacific and other regions. This article will trace the birth and evolution of the Indo-Pacific concept, will identify the reasons for its geostrategic importance for the European Union, and will analyze both the three national strategies of France, Germany, and the Netherlands as well as the announced EU strategy for the region. © Universidad de Deusto 000150186 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000150186 592__ $$a0.219$$b2022 000150186 593__ $$aHistory$$c2022$$dQ1 000150186 593__ $$aCultural Studies$$c2022$$dQ2 000150186 593__ $$aLaw$$c2022$$dQ2 000150186 593__ $$aPolitical Science and International Relations$$c2022$$dQ3 000150186 593__ $$aEconomics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous)$$c2022$$dQ3 000150186 594__ $$a0.4$$b2022 000150186 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000150186 7102_ $$14005$$2160$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
