European Union and NATO Military Organizations: Making Them Work Together

Abstract

Despite a general consensus, different views still exist on how the NATO Alliance and the European Union military organizations should interact. The "3D" American approach to an evolving European Security and Defense Identity (supportive as long as it avoids decoupling, duplication and discrimination) seems to be at odds with a European desire for greater "autonomy" in defense policy. This paper looks at how the European Union is dealing with the problem of coexistence with(in) NATO and provides possible alternative ideas.
