The UK's Ambition for Defence and Security with the EU and NATO
RUSI Senior Research Fellow Ed Arnold analyses the UK’s ambition for a security pact with the EU in the wider context of the UK’s NATO membership.
Following Sir Kier Starmer’s visit to Brussels in early February, Ed explores why this informal visit – the first by a British prime minister since Brexit – was significant. What are the considerations the UK, EU and NATO are making in relation to defence? And what will the process of negotiations and cooperations between all sides look like?
Ed Arnold is a Senior Research Fellow for European Security within the International Security department at RUSI.
His experience covers defence, intelligence, counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency, within the public and private sector. His primary research focus is on the transformation of European security following Russia’s war on Ukraine
