Are national parliaments engaged in the preparations of EU defence projects? And if so, what are the perspectives of their cooperation in this policy field? Do they act more as an active engine towards an enhanced common EU defence policy or do they function more as a brake? Providing sufficient answers to such complex questions is not an easy task. Defence is a policy field in Europe with many intricacies. On the one hand, the policy area per se remains an intergovernmental bond under the political jurisdiction of the member states; on the other hand, the consolidation of a Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) has been fundamentally rejuvenated, especially
after the latest developments with the formation of the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) at the EU level. In this respect, a twofold process is always present when it comes to the question of EU defence cooperation: the impact of the EU level on national security policies and, reciprocally, how member states and their parliaments may have an effect on security/defence evolutions at the EU level.
