European security model

Népszabadság Online 25 October 2004

Language of the original publication: Hungarian

Coward, powerless, free-rider, softie, paper tiger. Here are some of the adjectives employed on the other side of the Atlantic to describe European attitude in the field of security. This might even be comprehensible, if one looks from the self-generated spiral of the US defence budget (which amounts to about half of the world’s military expenditure) or from the distance of the innumerable space gadgets whose reliability as regards intelligence is of public notoriety since the conflict in Iraq. But seen both feet on the ground, the picture is not necessarily the same.

The French version offers a rough translation possibility at the bottom of the page. For the full text in English, please contact the author.
