A new security architecture in Europe: the strategy of the European Union

In the framework of the process of construction of European Union (EU) security and defence, and following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Issue 137 of Revista CIDOB d’Afers Internacionals looks at how the current moment of change is impacting the continent’s institutional security architecture, as well as the distribution of power and the role its leading actors might play. It examines the institutional, social and political party obstacles that hamper the creation of a European army; the supposed benefits of the European Political Community; the EU potentially casting off its role as a small power; the political culture of defence among Europeans; and the impacts of the European defence industry on the bloc’s economic globalisation, paying particular attention to the Defence Technological and Industrial Base (DTIB).
