Abstract

The steps taken last year to establish the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) may remind us of the efforts made by several countries after the Second World War to build a European Defence Community (EDC). Here I assess the measures taken by London, Paris, Brussels, Bonn and Washington, and recall the wars of Indochina and Korea. Though widely considered a failure, the EDC project in fact led to the foundation of a new institution, the Western European Union (WEU), which has complemented NATO’s objectives for many years.
