Summary/Abstract: The article reveals the impact of the Strategic Compass onCommon Security and Defence Policy in the light of the contemporarysecurity environment, characterized by unpredictability, complexity andunprecedented dynamism. In this precarious moment of global security,EU member states seek consensus and determination. These realities callfor political actors to reorganize and act united. This article analyses ifthis guide could be the solution for adapting the defence policy to thenew realities, especially at the Black Sea and NATO’s Eastern flank. Inour approach, we used the qualitative research method. We relied onvarious primary and secondary sources to obtain the necessary informationfor this study. Faced with a possible overthrow of the contemporaryliberal system, with a decision-making process marked by friction and aseries of ambiguous and imprecise actions, the EU is trying to overcomethe moment through the Strategic Compass. This new doctrine demonstratesthe ability of the EU to adapt, in advance, to the volatile changesand realities in the security environment. Having the fertile ground tosow tangible and concrete initiatives, we argue that CSDP benefits froman impetus which member states must deepen.
