Challenges to European and Euro-Atlantic Security

Abstract

Abstract The current security environment is characterized by uncertainty and multiple transformations in all areas. Mankind as a whole enjoys an extremely favorable context and an indisputable climate of security. However, security challenges are becoming more and more difficult to anticipate. The last few years have brought a new pandemic challenge to all states, which has put all systems to the test. In addition to the pandemic challenge, European and Euro-Atlantic countries face a military challenge that has the potential to directly affect regional and global security and cause shock waves in all areas, especially in the economic, political, diplomatic and military field. To these major challenges are added the challenges that have now faded into the background, such as climate change, the impact of natural disasters, organized crime, terrorism, and so on. In order to meet these new challenges, the European and Euro-Atlantic states must demonstrate cohesion and determination and take effective and decisive action to protect their interests and ensure the security and stability of their allies.
