STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE EU'S MILITARY CAPABILITIES IN TERMS OF THEIR RELEVANCE TO EUROPEAN SECURITY NEEDS
(Editura USM, 2024) Gore, Anastasia; Ejov, Cristina
The European Union (EU) has been actively working to strengthen its military capabilities in recent years, with a focus on improving its relevance to European security needs. However, there are still notable strengths and weaknesses to these capabilities. One strength is the EU's ability to conduct a range of military operations, from peacekeeping and crisis management to combat missions. The EU has also made strides in improving its defense industry and developing common defense procurement policies. On the other hand, weaknesses include a lack of interoperability between member state militaries, limited defense budgets, and a heavy reliance on the United States for military support. Furthermore, the EU's military capabilities may not fully address emerging security threats such as cyber and hybrid warfare. Ultimately, a comprehensive and cohesive approach to European defense is necessary to address these strengths and weaknesses and ensure the EU is able to meet its security needs in an evolving global landscape.
