Abstract

• We present five guiding principles for European rearmament. Europe's rearmament should be (i) innovation-driven to support European technological capabilities, competitiveness, and productivity growth; (ii) aim for a rapid increase in production capacities for a high-low mix of military capabilities; (iii) rely on quantitative goalpost for R&D expenditures and an unmanned autonomous systems; (iv) build on independent European capabilities alongside NATO to reduce dependence on increasingly unreliable American assets; (v) substantially increase military support for Ukraine as the cost-efficient way towards European security in the short-run. • The central steps are the creation of a European defense single market, the reduction of national fragmentation, and the development of joint European defense capabilities.
