Many politicians and analysts have been arguing in recent years that, being highly vulnerable to external shocks, the European Union should boost its 鈥榮trategic autonomy鈥� and/or develop a higher degree of 鈥楨uropean sovereignty鈥�. These concepts encompass a greater potential for independence, self-reliance and resilience in a wide range of fields 鈥� such as defence, security and trade, as well as in industrial, digital, economic, migration and health policies. Russia鈥檚 military offensive in Ukraine gives this issue great urgency. In energy, the European Commission has now published plans to cut EU dependency on Russian gas by two-thirds this year and end its reliance on Russian supplies of the fuel well before 2030. And the debate is moving on to ideas and projects involving significantly more integration, solidarity and stronger joint security and defence. The EU鈥檚 strategic compass, a medium-term defence and security strategy, is being quickly updated to take into account the biggest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. This note offers links to recent commentaries, studies and reports from international think tanks on the European issues related to European strategic autonomy and sovereignty.
