This essay analyses one of the most common yet stagnated concepts of European politics—
the common security and defense prospects of Europe. The analysis shows that although a
common security and defense cooperation scheme has been a mainstay of European
political discourse since the end of World War II, discussion never resulted in a concrete or
realistic plan. The reasons for this emphatic failure can be found in the political complexities
of the European structure and in the difficulties of implementing such a challenging plan.
