DILEMMAS OF EUROPEAN SECURITY
DILEMMAS OF EUROPEAN SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: European security is a subject of multiple, dynamic and evolving threats, namely the economic and financial crisis triggered in 2007, the assertiveness of Russia, the recrudescence of jihadist terrorism and the explosive expansion of illegal migration to Europe. These threats to the stability of the international system and global security as well have produced systemic effects, eroded public confidence in nation-state institutions, shattered the internal cohesion of the EU and NATO, and have produced the drift of the center of gravity of world politics from Europe to Southeast Asia. The solutions that are being taken to counter this negative development must be put into practice by a collective and cooperative effort of all nations in the Euro-Atlantic area. Strengthening European and transatlantic solidarity, as well as institutional efficiency and good governance are key elements in this concerted effort.
