Summary:

Europe's increasingly unstable neighbourhood, Britain's plans to leave the European Union and a search for potentially successful areas of cooperation amid several crises have all renewed momentum for increased EU defence cooperation. Plans for stronger military ties among EU Member States, already envisaged in the recent EU Global Strategy, have received a boost, according to some analysts, from the election of Donald Trump as US President, with an unclear security agenda.

This note offers links to commentaries, studies and reports by major international think tanks, on prospects of increased defense cooperation in the EU and on the general security situation on the continent.

More papers on threats to security in Europe from Russia's policies can be found in an October 2016 edition of 'What Think Tanks are thinking'. Some more studies on the EU Global Strategy are available on another item from the serie
