Die Forschung untersucht die Bemühungen der EU um strategische Unabhängigkeit und konzentriert sich dabei auf Probleme und Möglichkeiten innerhalb ihrer Verteidigungs- und Sicherheitsbeziehungen mit der Nordatlantikpakt-Organisation (NATO). Diese Forschung verwendet qualitative Methoden, um Verteidigungsprojekte der Ständigen Strukturierten Zusammenarbeit (PESCO) und des Europäischen Verteidigungsfonds (EDF) zu untersuchen und zu untersuchen, wie sich politische Transformationen auf die europäische Sicherheit insgesamt auswirken. Die Europäische Union (EU) hat ihre Verteidigungsfähigkeiten erfolgreich entwickelt, doch zu den derzeitigen Einschränkungen gehören die Politik der Mitgliedstaaten, die koordinierte Ansätze blockiert, und die Kämpfe um die Schaffung standardisierter militärischer Fähigkeiten. Dies hindert die EU-Regierungen daran, autonome Entscheidungen über die globale Sicherheit zu treffen. Die Unsicherheit in der Außenpolitik der Trump-Regierung unterstrich die Abhängigkeit Europas von der Macht in Übersee, was zu verstärkten Bemühungen der EU um strategische Unabhängigkeit führte. Die Studie zeigt, dass die EU ihre unabhängige Sicherheitspolitik vorantreibt, der Aufbau einer vollständigen Unabhängigkeit von der NATO jedoch zahlreiche Hindernisse mit sich bringt, die eine verstärkte Zusammenarbeit und Integration der EU auf allen Ebenen erfordern. Die Forschung hilft zu erklären, wie sich die europäische Sicherheit in der globalen Ordnung entwickeln wird, die komplexer und unberechenbarer wird.

The research investigates the EU's efforts at strategic independence while focusing on problems and possibilities within its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) defense and security relationship. This research uses qualitative methods to study defense projects Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) and European Defense Fund (EDF) and to examine how political transformations affect European security at large. The European Union (EU) successfully developed its defense capabilities, yet current limitations include member state politics blocking coordinated approaches and struggles to create standardized military capabilities. This prevents EU governments from taking autonomous global security decisions. The uncertainty of the Trump administration's foreign policy underlined Europe's exposure to overseas power dependence, leading to increased EU efforts to achieve strategic independence. The research shows that the EU advances its independent security policy, yet building full independence from NATO poses multiple obstacles that require enhanced EU cooperation and integration at all levels. The research helps explain how European security will develop in the global order, which becomes more complex and unpredictable.

Bu çalışma, NATO savunma ve güvenlik ilişkisi içindeki sorunlara ve olasılıklara odaklanırken AB'nin stratejik bağımsızlık çabalarını araştırmaktadır. Bu araştırma, PESCO ve EDF savunma projelerini ve siyasi dönüşümlerin genel olarak Avrupa güvenliğini nasıl etkilediğini incelemek için nitel yöntemler kullanmaktadır. AB savunma yeteneklerini başarıyla geliştirmiştir. Ancak mevcut sınırlamalar arasında üye devlet politikalarının koordineli yaklaşımları engellemesi ve standartlaştırılmış askeri yetenekler oluşturma mücadeleleri yer almaktadır. Bu, AB hükümetlerinin özerk küresel güvenlik kararları almasını engellemektedir. Trump yönetiminin dış politikasının belirsizliği, Avrupa'nın denizaşırı güç bağımlılığına maruz kalmasını ortaya çıkardı ve AB'nin stratejik bağımsızlığa ulaşma çabalarının artmasına yol açtı. Bu araştırma, AB'nin bağımsız güvenlik politikasını ilerlettiğini, ancak NATO'dan tam bağımsızlık oluşturmanın her düzeyde gelişmiş AB iş birliği ve entegrasyonunu gerektiren birden fazla engel oluşturduğu sonucuna varmakta, Avrupa güvenliğinin daha karmaşık ve öngörülemez hale gelen küresel düzende nasıl gelişeceğini açıklamaya yardımcı olmaktadır.
