In 2016 strategic autonomy became part of the European Union Global Strategy doctrine to improve the defense capabilities of the European Union, including the setting up of a European Defence Fund established in 2017. Strategic autonomy became central to the European Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen, who stated her intention to have a “geopolitical commission.” Members of the Von der Leyen Commission including Josep Borrell and Thierry Breton claim that Europe's soft power needs to be complemented by a harder power dimension.
Initially the concept of the European strategic autonomy has been inspired and by France, which advocated for this strategy at the European Union's level. Strategic autonomy has however developed into a broader concept that includes economic, energy and digital policy, and initiatives such as GAIA-X. European Union Member States, such as Germany, display different preferences than France when it comes to the priorities of a strategic autonomy policy. Strategic autonomy expanded to the digital policy of the European Union with an objective to ascertain European sovereignty against China.

A first reference to strategic autonomy in the discussions of the European council of ministers can be dated back to December 2013. The European Council called for the development of European defense capabilities to enhance the strategic autonomy of the European Union.In 2016 strategic autonomy became part of the European Union Global Strategy doctrine to improve the defense capabilities of the European Union, including the setting up of a European Defence Fund established in 2017.

Strategic autonomy was a priority in European defense policy during the presidency of DJT in the United States, seen as an unreliable partner by the European Union. The goal of strategic autonomy is however not to act alone militarily, and the European Union can be characterized as non-interventionist in nature. The election of Joe Biden in the United States brought expectations of a Euro-Atlantic unity that has to be reconciled with the strategic autonomy of the European Union. The election of Joe Biden has brought discord between France and Germany over the future of European defense and strategic autonomy.
