title = {Level-II-GSVP: neue Dynamik durch intergouvernementale Integration?},
year = {2019},
note = {Cooperation in the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) has
recently produced a remarkable dynamism when looking at the newly
established Military Planning and Conduct Capability, the European
Defence Fund and the Permanent Structured Cooperation. This paper
examines these in terms of the objectives linked to their setting-up,
their functioning and strategic importance by taking into account,
among others, considerations of the new intergovernmentalist approach
to explain EU integration. As much as elements described by this
school of thought are identifiable in CSDP develop- ments the question
remains whether this will result in improved and operational EU
defence capabil- ities and in a strengthened contribution to the
Atlantic Alliance. The paper argues that much will de- pend, alongside
the functioning of the new mechanisms, on the political will of the
member states, in particular France and Germany, in forging
compromises and supporting the future of the CSDP.},
