  Abstract:  The Iraq crisis of 2001-2003 was a controversial and challenging moment for the European diplomacy and not only. Intending to reflect on the events that tormented the European political landscape and led to the “divide et impera” scenario within the European Union, the following research paper will address – from Kenneth Waltz’s structural realist perspective – the question regarding the insights of power that stimulated a de facto European political division in the Iraq crisis framework. The analysis will basically focus on the new American “post-atlanticist” order and its effects on the EU’s fragile Common Foreign and Security Policy.
