Άρθρο του κ. Θόδωρου Τσίκα, επικεφαλής του Προγράμματος “Θεωρία και Πρακτική των Διεθνών Σχέσεων” του ΙΔΟΣ/IIER, στο “EUROPEAN INTEREST“, για τις εξελίξεις σχετικά με την ευρωπαϊκή Άμυνα:
“The FCAS failure and the case for a European Defence Union”
– The recent collapse of the Franco-German-Spanish Future Combat Air System (FCAS) provides a revealing example.
– As long as Europe attempts to build a common defence industry without a common defence framework, fragmentation will persist. If the European Union is serious about strategic autonomy, it must move decisively towards a European Defence Union capable of defining common priorities, procuring common capabilities, and ultimately providing common security.
– Τhe debate on European defence is not only about military capabilities. It is also about political sovereignty. Common defence, common industrial policy, common investment instruments and stronger political integration are mutually reinforcing dimensions of the same project. None can fully succeed without the others.
