After the failure of the European Defence Community (EDC) in 1954, the path towards a fully-fledged common European security and defence policy has been long, tedious and fragmented. Notwithstanding this piecemeal pattern of evolution, the last decade has accounted for renewed efforts towards security and defence, mostly driven by external shocks and crises, the last of which is the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The urgency to swiftly and effectively respond to conflicts, the need to be prepared to deal with new (and hybrid) threats, and the objective of reaching “strategic autonomy”, have brought the discussion around a common defence once again at the forefront of EU political debates. Even if major gaps still remain and need to be addressed, much has been achieved – or, at least, is set to be achieved – in relations to a Common security and defence policy (CSDP) institutional and operational effectiveness, coordination of military procurement and strengthening of the defence industry. In fact, regardless of the different strategic visions, industrial integration is already a reality and is becoming, more than ever, a priority.
