Abstract/Index

Historical evolution of the European common defence project (1950s–2020s). 1950–1954: the European defence community (EDC)–the first attempt at supranational defence. 1954–1990s: limited defence integration with the Western European Union (WEU). 1970–1980s: From European political cooperation (EPC) to single European act (SEA)–first treaty recognition of “European security” and the delimitation of defence. 1992–2009: Maastricht to Lisbon–from defence entering the treaties to CSDP Institutionalization. 2017–today: from the Permanent structured cooperation (PESCO) to the strategic compass and the European Defence fund. From supranational ambition to managed integration: structural limits of European defence. Constitutional clauses in EU member states conditioning European defence integration. Neutral EU member states: constitutional clauses of military non-alignment. Constitutional provisions enabling or conditioning military integration in selected EU member states. Comparative constitutional constraints on eu defence integration. The contemporary debate on European defence integration in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine War. Contextualizing the debate: why the Russia-Ukraine War revived the prospect of a European defence Union. Challenges to defence integration at the EU Level. National political configurations in the debate on EU common defence. Patterns of convergence and contestation in national defence discourses.
