The Atlantic Alliance and the European Union. The evolution of complex relationships (DIEEEM09-2013)

Relations between NATO and some of the predecessor entities of the European Union began in the years immediately following World War II. Indeed, the precursor organizations of NATO and EU had a common origin and maintained since its inception contacts that transformed in relationships that have evolved slowly over the years. This evolution has had some stages of understanding and cooperation and others of misunderstanding and distrust. Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to expect that the latest steps of that evolution will lead to updated and stable relationships that will facilitate the harmonious development of the Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) of the EU. This article aims to analyze the evolution of the relations between NATO and the EU through the years, with special attention to the implications of these relationships in the development of the CSDP.
