Sažetak
European defense and security are responsibilities of four international organizations: the European Union, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, North Atlantic Alliance and United Nations. The fundamental premise of political independence of any state or union is the existence of armed forces. The European Union, therefore, has considered the necessity for the establishment of its own armed forces. The military presence of the United States on the European Continent, however, is indisputable. The necessity for further cooperation with NATO is still prevalent. This paper also discusses the phenomenon of globalisation, since international organizations are its manifestations. These organizations or, rather, global integrations represent an unstoppable trend with many positive and negative implications. When international organizations are responsible for either the security or the maintenance of the international peace and security, then they sometimes act accordingly, but always in the best interest of the member states.
