As the cornerstone of a successful defense, threat recognition determines the benchmarks for national armies and thus requires immediate attention. ... MoreOctober 24, 2011 | A "Natural" Addition to EU Defense PolicyDaniel Fiott: The European economy is heavily dependent on foreign suppliers for key raw materials, but the EU Common Security and Defence Policy makes no mention of a strategy to ensure the security of these important natural resources. That must change. ... MoreSeptember 28, 2011 | A New AtlanticismJohn C. Kornblum: European leaders should propose a new initiative for “crisis dialogue” with a broad agenda for a new Atlanticism.

MoreJuly 26, 2008 | Defending Europe in the Future: Revising the European Security StrategyDaniel Fiott: Any revision of the European Security Strategy later this year should aim to deal with the security threats posed by climate change, energy security, human security, cyber crime and the incoherence of the European Union’s military capabilities. ... MoreJune 27, 2008 | Russia's Western Border is a Sensitive IssueHeinrich Bonnenberg: To Russia, its current western border is a border that stands for loss and dishonor. This border is an open, bleeding wound on the Russian body. The security pact that the Russian president recently presented in Berlin could be helpful in overcoming historical grievances and bringing Western Europe and Russia closer together. ... MoreApril 1, 2008 | How Britain Now Runs European SecurityDaniel Korski: Something odd is happening across Europe’s security landscape. In spite of British Prime Minister Brown’s euro-scepticism, and Britain’s supposed European isolation following the Iraq War, London is once again becoming the centerpiece of European security cooperation. ... MoreMarch 31, 2008 | Divides Inside the AllianceRüdiger Lentz: Increasing debates within the Alliance about the inequity of risk- and burden-sharing among its members overshadow the upcoming summit in Bucharest. Especially, the Germans are being pressured by Washington and their Western allies to send more fighting troops to Afghanistan. ... MoreGlobal Must Read ArticlesMay 3, 2011 | Rapprochement on Cruise from Suez to BenghaziFranco-British estrangement, caused by opposing lessons from 1956 Suez debacle, ended en route to Benghazi . ++ London realizes relationship with Washington is less special, so needs to prove independence to be noticed. ++ UK and France want to be tough guys on continent where Germany can’t play ball for security; pooling resources through NATO is only solution for Franco-British ... MoreOctober 5, 2010 | A Damaging Climate of FearThe decision by the US Department of State to issue a warning to its citizens traveling to Europe is an unhelpful overreaction, as Americans were not specifically targeted. ++ The warning shows a lack of solidarity between the US and Europe, as terrorism is a common danger to be faced together. ++ If Europeans warned against travel to the US, Washington would undoubtedly be irritated. ++ ... MoreJuly 22, 2010 | Missile-defense Cooperation is a Joint PriorityNorth America, Europe, and Russia should work together to create a Euro-Atlantic security system based on trilateral missile-defense cooperation. ++ Political rather than technical obstacles have been the main stumbling blocks. ++ The design and implementation of the new security architecture must be based on a joint assessment of threats and shared equally by the three partners. ++ This moment ... MoreJune 15, 2010 | The Safety of Europe is Tied to United States DebtThe United States’ rising debt runs the risk of creating a security threat for Europe. ++ “Should [Europe] continue to rely on the US? Should it bolster its armed forces to become self-reliant? Or should it seek out a new security partnership – perhaps a grand bargain with Russia or even with Middle Eastern states opposed to both Israel and the US?” ++ Since no ... MoreFebruary 19, 2009 | NATO Is Not the AnswerSarkozy’s decision to rejoin NATO’s military command is the wrong response to the new era Obama has ushered in. ++ NATO remains an organization designed for the Cold War era without the legitimacy to take on a universal role. ++ Sarkozy is sending out a signal that France wishes to remain part of the “western family,” locked in a defensive mindset of yesteryear. ++ ... MoreMay 22, 2008 | Europe's Geopolitical Influence is WaningGiven its relatively small geopolitical size, Europe needs to encourage stability among its neighbors in an effort to sustain its current enjoyment of internal tranquility. ++ While slowly crawling from beneath the US security blanket under which it has hidden for decades, Europe must look to new regions, such as East Asia, for security agreements and interregional cooperation. ++ At the same ...

MoreApril 18, 2008 | Europe's Long Term Geo-Strategic DilemmaEuropean obstructionism of US proposals at the NATO summit exposes the EU’s division, weakness, and indecisiveness. ++ Energy dependency means that Russia has a de facto veto over EU security. ++ Suggesting the EU could mediate between the US and Russia is unrealistic. ++ A revival of Ostpolitik would impede NATO, increase Russia’s leverage, and lead to a deterioration of ... MoreMarch 31, 2008 | NATO and EU Need an Open-door PolicyBucharest is the ideal opportunity to extend the NATO membership action plan to Georgia and Ukraine and further negotiations with Balkan states. ++ While rewarding and encouraging their effort of reform, this would enhance the stability, solidarity, and security of the region. ++ NATO integration and EU enlargement are inseparable and crucial steps towards the creation of a stable European ...
