Summary/Abstract: In comparison with the year 2011, 2012 started significantly regarding strategic tendencies of major international state actors, by the Washington administration announcement which declared the US intention to shift its military effort towards Asia-Pacific region, in order to further maintain its global strategic superiority. This intention was based on the perception of the increasing Chinese military capabilities in the region, and of economic ones at global level. In this article we also emphasize the fact that Europe will not be left alone following the US strategic shift towards Pacific, but will continue through the European states actions to develop co-operation relations with the US in order to consolidate and even extend its influence in Africa.
