Summary/Abstract: Partnerships and alliances not only entail engagements of jointly countering external threats, they also pave the way for common modernisation projects, capitalise on opportunities for investments, create the premises for establishing a close cooperation between the research-development sectors, between the companies involved in the defence industry. In addition to the state of security represented by being a member of partnerships and alliances, the states that are less powerful can benefit from military training assistance, from access, even if it is limited, to the new technologies, agreements and preferential contracts regarding the provision of military equipment, from common investments in military facilities.
