THE CONCEPT OF ,,SMART DEFENCE” AND POOLING AND SHARING
THE CONCEPT OF ,,SMART DEFENCE” AND POOLING AND SHARING

Summary/Abstract: THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRISIS WAS THE MAIN STIMULUS THAT DETERMINED THE BREADTH AND SUCCCESS OF THE INTELLIGENT DEFENCE IDEA OF COURSE, THIS IDEA OF SHARING RESOURCES AND USING THEM TOGETHER BY NATO OR EU MEMBER STATES IS NOT A NEW IDEA. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE AT THE BORDER OF IMPLEMENTING NEW CONCEPTS OF DEFENSE PLANNING. IF WE HAVE THE CONCEPT OF ,,POOLING AND SHARING” AT EU LEVEL, THE CONCEPT OF ,,SMART DEFENCE” IS BEING CIRCULATED AT NATO LEVEL, WITH IMPLICATIONS GOING BEYOND DEFENSE PLANNING, THE SIGNIFICANCES BEING MORE COMPLEX, STRATEGIC, GEOPOLITICAL OR RELATIONSHIPRELATED INTERNATIONAL. ,,SMART DEFENCE” AND ,,POOLING AND SHARING” HAVE GAINED A RESOUNDING SUCCESS IN THE SECURITY AND DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTS IN THE UNIQUE INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE INVESTMENT-ENVIORONMENT. EURO-ATLANTIC COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN ACHIEVE AN INCREASE IN SECURITY UNDER THE AUSTERITY OF NATIONAL DEFENSE BUDGETS GENERATED BY THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRISIS, A CRISIS THAT PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN CREATING A FAVOURABLE CONTEXT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TWO CONCEPTS.
