About this report
Europe’s accelerated rearmament effort is reshaping the continent’s defence economy and the global balance of industrial power. After three decades of underinvestment following the end of the Cold War, the war in Ukraine has triggered an unprecedented expansion in defence spending across the European Union and NATO member states.
What began as an emergency response to replenish depleted stocks has evolved into a structural realignment: Europe is rediscovering its role as a security producer rather than merely a beneficiary of American protection.
Key questions this report answers
- How is Europe's accelerated rearmament reshaping the continent's defence economy after three decades of post-Cold War underinvestment?
- In what way did the war in Ukraine turn an emergency effort to replenish depleted stocks into a structural industrial realignment?
- What does Europe's shift from beneficiary of American protection to security producer mean for the global balance of industrial power?
- What strategic dependence risks persist as Europe enters the next phase of defence integration?
