IIEAIs it really useful to think about “small states” when discussing European defence and security?
The Security and Defence of Small European States
IIEAWhile our EU partners face real and present threats, we in Ireland primarily face threats, other than domestic terrorism, that are not readily apparent.
Close cooperation and the integration of state efforts are inevitable and necessary. Viewed against global trends and challenges, all states in Europe are small.
The broader regional and global security environment is in flux and the transatlantic framework for Baltic security is under immense pressure.
