The Eu Intelligence Service Dilemma

  • George ANGLIŢOIU

Abstract

Two decades after the definition of its Common Foreign and Security Policy, the European Union could move forward in this field by planning and implementing the full integration of Intelligence into the core of its global and smart power design. An inception scenario could consider and eventually overcome Euroskepticism, Eurosklerosis, Eurozone meltdown, Sovereign Opt-outs or other negative trends. Three questions are envisionable on such premises: is it a matter of stronger political will to deepen the empowerment process in accordance to the official claims for a safer and grander unional Europe, capable to foster enhanced understanding and practice of its role in contemporary world affairs? Is it a matter of relevance to show that the EU is not just a bureaucratic form without content in the complex arena of International Security, or a fragile economic powerhouse with almost no coercive might? Is it a matter of urgency to validate its string of Treaties beyond the optimistic wording of social market economy and mutual assistance clause into the reality of preventive diplomacy and just resolution of classic or asymmetric risks and threats?
