The Czech Republic and „New“ EU Common Security and Defense Policy: Time of Crucial Decisions
Journal Title: Vojenske rozhledy - Year 2017, Vol 26, Issue 3
Abstract
In the shadow of the profound transformation of the security environment, the long rejected idea of a multi-speed Europe in defence is taking shape. What is the Czech Republic’s stance in this context? Is it ready to adapt and make defence one of the government’s priorities, or will it only passively observe the events around it and at some point tolerate another intervention or occupation of another power? The article outlines several practical recommendations to the Czech Republic in the area of military capabilities, armaments, defence research, defence industry and market, which could provide guidance in this process.
