The NATO and EU Relations of Central and Eastern European Nations
Synopsis
The negative developments in the security environment of Europe in recent years have placed NATO and the European Union’s defence policy to the centre of political debates in East Central Europe. In order to provide a general overview, the essays in the volume will cover the most significant aspects of the security and defence policy of the respective countries in the region. Understanding the general perceptions of NATO and the EU is the foundation for any deeper exploration of the related issues. The countries in the Central and Eastern European region will continue to rely on greater powers and multinational institutions to maintain their security. None of the current geopolitical and security challenges, let it be Russia, failing states in the South, terrorism or illegal migration appears to be weakening in the years to come. Therefore, preserving NATO and EU unified and strong on security and defence matters remain to be a strategic interest for the countries in the region.
