Summary/Abstract: The security environment of the European continent has changed significantly in the last 10 years, from an approach dominated by multilateralism, expansion of the EU to the East and an optimistic view on the future as geared towards cooperation and development to an environment dominated by crisis of various natures (economic, migration, climatic, pandemic, conflict) peer competition and revanchist desires of rewriting the borders. Both NATO and EU had to adapt to these changes and develop more appropriate response mechanisms to the complex challenges that are constantly emerging and the first step in this process is the development of new strategic documents. The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the EU Strategic Compass, by examining its strengths and weaknesses, the potential ways of action that can be identified, with emphasis on the military implications.
