Abstract

The present paper seeks to explore some recent current considerations regarding European rearmament policy. The March 2025 ReArmEurope Plan/Readiness document is a “cutting-edge” innovation, a response to the ongoing war in Ukraine, aimed at laying the foundations for the process of European integration and development begun years ago. The slow pace of progress in the defense sector, the work undertaken by the Atlantic Alliance and the Trump presidency have brought European defense developments to the forefront at the European and international level, within a framework expected to run until 2030. The work of financial resources, state, national and private funding, creating a technological and industrial base, has placed defense policy at a critical juncture for European and national defense, raising considerable criticism for this sector. The method we used is based on documents drafted by the Union institutions themselves and on the limited scholarship on the subject. We don’t have and we can’t use as a method a relevant jurisprudence in merit of the argument. We attempt to provide a brief, precise and critical analysis of the current and future stages of European defense policy during the rather challenging times Europe is experiencing in this area.
