Docu Analysis: Erasmus Mundus as Foreign Policy?

Just found that an interesting quotation that seems to justify one of the real reasons behind Erasmus Mundus as I see it; the Erasmus World document (ref. 1128) refers to Europe needing “future decision-makers in third countries having a better understanding of, and closer ties with, Europe” for its lasting political and economic success. I have always said that until the Lisbon, Europe could not have a foreign policy but Erasmus Mundus allowed global influence; this seems to prove that this quotation at least formed part of the sub-agendas behind the programme.
