Summary/Abstract: The whole liberal world order appears to be falling apart, nothing is as it once was. When Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea and started the bloody conflict in Eastern Ukraine in 2014, many considered him to be the major cause of global destabilisation. Just a few years later the US President, has seriously challenge the current international order when he questions free trade and the Western set of values or NATO. This has massive consequences, not just for Europeans. The global security situation is more dangerous today than at any time since the collapse of the Soviet Union. We are experiencing an epochal shift; an era is ending, and the rough outlines of a new political age are only beginning to emerge. No matter where you look, there are countless conflicts and crises, crises that greatly affect us Europeans. In this context of changes that seem chaotic, is actual the establishment of a European army with all the specific resources available, as a way of ensuring security and defense of the European Union?
