 THE EUROPEAN UNION SECURITY AND DEFENSE IN TERMS OF FULFILLING POLITICAL-MILITARY AMBITIONSRadoslav Ivancik ()
Medzinarodne vztahy (Journal of International Relations), 2021, vol. 19, issue 2, 119-137 Abstract: The European Union's ability to ensure its security and defence, now and in the future, is a very important point of reference in the debate on its strategic autonomy based, in addition to political, economic, and diplomatic instruments, on military tools in the form of relevant military forces and means, and wide scale of defence capabilities and capacities. The European Union has therefore set a certain level of political and military ambitions in order to ensure the security and defence of its citizens, as well as the protection of its political, economic, security and other interests, through which it seeks to secure the set goals. The purpose of the paper is therefore to analyse and evaluate, using relevant scientific methods of security research, to what extent and whether the European Union is currently able to meet the level of ambitions based on the European Union's Common Security and Defence Policy.
