However, as centuries of European (or Western) dominance are currently giving way to a more multipolar and less governable world system, protecting common "strategic interests" without adequate military capabilities may become ever more difficult. Although Europeans remain relatively well-equipped to mobilise the tools needed to tackle potential threats, within the EU there is limited awareness or recognition of the emerging challenges, a basic disinterest in strategic matters, and relatively few voices calling for effective and sustainable armed forces. In addition, the European political and institutional landscape regarding defence and military matters is extremely segmented. It is in this context that this report seeks to place European military capabilities in a broader perspective and highlight potential avenues for exploration and development over the next decade Notes "May 2013."
