dc.description.abstractIn 1962 in an article published in Foreign Affairs eminent Italian Federalist Altiero Spinelli noted that ‘Western Europe, thanks to American protection, has become a paradise of political, military and social irresponsibility’. The political dominance of NATO during the Cold War prevented the creation of a strong independent European defence. The NATO and the United States military guarantees to Europe on the one hand gave the Europeans the opportunity to concentrate more on economic and social issues, but on the other prevented Europe from creating common defence institutions and closer political Union, which from a long term perspective would have been more valuable than NATO.
