Europeanisation, Defence, and Security: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Following the late 1990s, European integration debates have come to encompass defence and security-related policies. The potential convergence and integration of European Union member states’ foreign and security policies, widely perceived to be important for the European Union to become an independent international actor, lie at the heart of this. The Europeanisation of defence and security, however, is neither inevitable nor without contradictions, and remains a contested topic in academic literature. This panel aims to address the current state of the Europeanisation of defence and security, and the debates surrounding it. In doing this, it seeks to examine the fundamental challenges and opportunities which have arisen in light of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Brexit, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
