NATO-EU COOPERATION IN RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES OF EMERGING AND DISRUPTIVE DEFENSE TECHNOLOGIES

The lessons learned in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the security relations between the EU-NATO states and the U.S., the appearance of incisive emerging and disruptive technologies in China are some of the elements that determined a strong cooperation between NATO and the EU. In this scientific research, we aimed to gain an overview of NATO-EU cooperation on responding to the challenges of emerging and disruptive technologies in the defense field. There are two directions of analysis, on the one hand countering the effects of emerging and disruptive technologies against NATO and EU states to ensure sustainable security, and on the other hand, catching up with states such as China and Russia, especially in the field of defense.
