REACTIVATION OF WESTERN EUROPEAN UNION
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2010, Vol 156, Issue 2
Abstract
The article examines the historical evolution of the process of reviving the Western European Union (WEU) within the context of its relations with the USA and with reference to the concept of the European Commonwealth (EC). The author presents major problems and conditions related to the reactivation of WEU in order to explain Europe’s failure to develop and implement collective security measures in the mid-1980s. Furthermore, the author focuses on the role of West Germany-France partnership in the context of building a new identity of Western Europe’s defence, and on subsequent concepts of collective security, which have been presented in the forum of European Communities.
