Pleading for a Europe of the defense

Summary/Abstract: The European Security and defense Policy gradually emerged, starting with the years 50s of the previous century and being institutionalized after the 1998 St. Malo French-British summit. In spite of the different national interests and strategic cultures of the various EU members, in spite of the lack of resources and the “competition” with NATO, EU managed to forge its institutions for defense and security and launched many missions with a military and also a civilian dimensions. After the Lisbon treaty entered into force, the perspectives for a further enhancement of the ESDP greatly improved. Worth to say that Romania is an active player within the ESDP and has a tradition in taking part in various multinational missions, from the Balkans, to the Caucasus and the Greater Middle East.
