THE LEVEL OF AMBITION – BETWEEN DESIRE AND OBJECTIVE –

Summary/Abstract: The socio-economic reality or, more accurately, the limited resources and the decreasing democracies’ appetite for the military instrument have caused interesting evolutions at the political level. One of them concerns the way in which the final aspirations of the defence efforts are defined by states and relevant multinational organisations. These final aspirations are known, in most cases, as the level of ambition.
