The European Union has taken many concrete steps in its common defence policy due to the environment created by the changed security perception, especially after the end of the Cold War. Some of these concrete steps relate to military power, which is an essential component of security. The structure of the armed forces necessary for the implementation of an effective common security and defence policy has led to various debates within the Union. The aim of this article is to examine whether it is possible for the European Union to build a European army within the framework of the Common Security and Defence Policy by incorporating the perspectives of France, Germany and other EU Members. In this article, Andrew Moravcsik's liberal intergovernmental approach has been used as a theoretical framework, and the period from the founding of the European Union to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from membership has been discussed.
