Europe Defense Shift examines Europe's increasing focus on military independence amidst shifting global dynamics. It explores the historical context of European defense cooperation, noting past attempts at military integration and analyzing the current political climate that fuels the need for a stronger, more self-reliant European defense posture. The book highlights how factors like transatlantic tensions and the perceived decline of American influence are driving this shift. The book argues that Europe is re-evaluating its security dependencies due to both internal and external pressures. While complete independence from the U.S. is unlikely soon, the trend towards greater strategic autonomy is deemed irreversible.

Europe Defense Shift begins by examining the historical foundations of European defense structures, progresses to analyzing current challenges and opportunities, and culminates in exploring practical applications, including policy recommendations. This book provides a unique perspective by combining historical analysis with contemporary political and technological assessments. It bridges the gap between academic theory and practical policymaking, offering valuable insights into European Politics, International Relations, and the evolving landscape of European Security.
