Summary/Abstract: The strategic partnership between NATO and the EU is necessary to meet the security challenges, given the regional instability in the eastern and southern neighborhoods of the two organizations. Over the last four years, there has been a stronger relationship between NATO and the EU, with a focus on strengthening cooperation, coordinated planning and information sharing across seven strategic areas. However, there are many political obstacles, such as those generated by national - especially economic - interests, public opinion on the allocation of defense budgets, and the fact that Member States view regional threats differently.
