European Defence Cooperation (en Inglés) - Trevor Taylor

European Defence Cooperation (1984) considers the varied elements of European defence cooperation and the obstacles to further development of a European pillar within NATO. It argues that closer cooperation would alleviate several problems, including differences between the US and Europe; public unease about defence policies; and constraints on defence expenditure. With references to four areas (nuclear weapons and strategy, arms control, conventional forces and out-of-area activities) it discusses the prospects for increased cooperation, and makes proposals for changes in policy and in institutional arrangements.
