Sensowne kroki na drodze do europejskiego bezpieczeństwa

The author contends that European security requires a shift from simple integration to a multifaceted approach combining 'soft, hard, and smart power'. Key priorities include meeting the 2% GDP defense spending target through joint capabilities, securing external EU borders, supporting state-building in fragile neighboring countries, and investing in green technology and development in Sub-Saharan Africa to mitigate migration and instability caused by climate change.

• European security is currently threatened by a combination of internal ideological crises, such as the rise of populist governments in Poland and Hungary, and external pressures including Russian aggression and instability in the Middle East.
• The author advocates for European nations to meet the 2% GDP defense spending target, emphasizing that this should be achieved through joint resource pooling and compatibility of systems rather than isolated national efforts.
• To counter populist narratives that only nation-states can provide security, the EU must demonstrate its ability to protect citizens by strengthening external border controls, particularly in the Mediterranean, and evolving toward a truly European intelligence service.
• Addressing fragile and failing states in Europe's vicinity is critical to reducing terrorism and migration; the author suggests using 'soft power' tools like economic cooperation and training for officials, coordinated by a financially strengthened European External Action Service.
• Climate change and global warming are identified as long-term drivers of instability and migration; the author cites a study suggesting a severe drought in the Middle East may have contributed to the Syrian civil war.
• A comprehensive security policy should include 'smart growth' and development aid for Sub-Saharan Africa, specifically through the provision of green technologies, reduction of tariffs, and decreasing subsidies for European agricultural products to increase imports from Africa.
