Constructive duplication: Reducing EU reliance on US military assets
Written by Dr Kori Schake , 04 January 2002
In 'Constructive duplication', Kori Schake asserts that the Bush administration has taken a positive approach to the European Union's attempts to develop a military capability. And the Europeans have worked to reassure the US that the EU's defence policy will not undercut NATO. Nevertheless, two serious problems remain: the differences in the ways European and American militaries are developing; and the dubious premise of 'assured access' for the EU to NATO and US military assets.
