Description
Summary:The author analyses evolution of the EU’s concept of strategic autonomy on the background of the new administration of the USA president D. Biden coming to power and efforts of Paris to enlarge the strategic autonomy by inclusion in it its own nuclear deterrence. Proposals and initiative of France in these regards and the discussion in the EU’s expert circles on the relationship between strategic autonomy and perspectives of transatlantic partnerships in the context of cooperation with NATO and the USA have been also analyzed. Special attention was devoted to the question of a possible transformation of strategic autonomy into the concept of «European sovereignty».
