Can Europe Defend Itself? NATO, Rearmament and Europe's Future

Europe faces a new security reality shaped by the war in Ukraine and growing great-power tensions, sparking debate about how much responsibility Europe can and should take for its own security.

Sten Rynning, professor of political science and one of Denmark's leading experts on NATO and European security, examines the relationship between Europe and the USA within NATO and Europe's options for strengthening its own defence. He also explores the EU's growing role in building a European defence industry and asks: How far can Europe actually go - and what expectations for Europe's role in the world are realistic?
