THE NEW EURO-ATLANTIC COOPERATION DIMENSION - THE SMART DEFENCE INITIATIVE
THE NEW EURO-ATLANTIC COOPERATION DIMENSION - THE SMART DEFENCE INITIATIVE

Summary/Abstract: The beginning of the 21st century brought critical informations on the background of the strategic changes initiated by the major actors involved in the energy resources competition, after a financial crisis that led to austerity budget planning. This fact affected the defence budgets too, especially those of the European countries. That is why at the Chicago NATO Summit a new defence initiative was launched, an initiative that would support the European defence sector through collaboration in the wider framework of NATO. In our opinion, this new initiative - Smart Defence - will reopen on new bases the development of transatlantic relations.
