Before Vegetius: Critical Questions for European Defense A Policy Brief by the IEP@BU - Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University In a more dangerous and unstable world, Europe must thus prepare for war to maintain peace and its security: as Vegetius noted, si vis pacem para bellum. However, increasing budgets is not enough if the EU does not address key strategic questions by Andrea Gilli, Mauro Gilli, and Niccolò Petrelli The Aspen Institute NATO Defense College Università degli studi Roma TRE Università Bocconi

Really pleased that the report I wrote with Mauro Gilli and Niccolò Petrelli for Università Bocconi IEP@BU - Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University has been published. As many discuss the shape, prospects and future of European defense, we identify and elaborate what are some of the most salient questions Europeans need to addressed. Briefly, do we need tanks or submarines, bases or personnel. A bit more elaborated: - why do we need more European defense? - Why there is not more European defense yet? - What are its goals? - And what exactly is European defense? - How much is enough? -And what are its problems and shortfalls? - Since strategy is about complicating the enemy's calculations, what are the trade-offs and vulnerabilities? - Finally, do we need MORE or DIFFERENT European defense, or the type of disruption Musk & co. are calling for also for the world of defense? https://lnkd.in/dFGRnvqS Thanks to Stefano Feltri Daniel Gros and Flaminia Belli for having supported and made possible this project. And Happy Holidays to all. 🎅
