    Summary: We consider the Kerr-Debye model, describing the electromagnetic wave propagation in a nonlinear medium exhibiting a finite response time. This model is quasilinear hyperbolic and endowed with a dissipative entropy. We consider the Cauchy problem in the three-dimensional case and show that, if the initial data are sufficiently small, the solutions are global in time.
