Allies, but not friends

Sovereignty is not delegated, it is built
A necessary reflection on European technological dependence in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical scenario.
To what extent can a region defend itself if it does not control the means by which it does so? Prepared by Antonio Villalón, Security Director at S2GRUPO, this new document critically and realistically examines Europe's stance towards its strategic allies, particularly the US, in key areas such as technology, defence, and cybersecurity.
Rather than arguing against alliances, it calls for strategic maturity. If Europe wants decision-making power, it must build and maintain its capabilities in vital sectors.
This document is essential reading for security officials, regulators and public and private decision-makers who are working towards a more autonomous, secure and resilient Europe.
