Abstract
It has become a necessity to draft a White Paper for European Union Security and Defence. Despite a long history of obstacles and hesitation around the subject, an operational, doctrinal and military-technological base for the European Security Strategy is very much needed. The White Paper will also be used to initiate a change of defence instruments with harmonisation of schedules and national defence policies. The economic environment has provided a window of opportunity with budget constraints requiring synergy, sharing and enhanced cooperation. It has also enabled the drafting of this useful document.
Translated title of the contribution | Toward a European union security and defence white paper: Between "non-identified object" and window of opportunity |
