The Common Security and Defense Policy of the European Union: The Portuguese Perspective

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

NATO is the bulwark of Portuguese national defense. The European Union defense vertebrated through the Common Security and Defense Policy is perceived exclusively within the context of a wider transatlantic defense. Pleas for a European strategic autonomy which would be inconsistent with transatlantic commitments are thus to be rejected, as they could ultimately create an existential dilemma that would force a fateful sovereign choice between the Atlantic and the European ethos of the Portuguese State.
