Forward march on European defence

The debate on European security and defence has been dominated over the past ten years by institutional bickering about the proper relationship between the European Union's European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) and the NATO alliance. In the last year, however, there have been some positive moves towards greater cooperation between member states, as well as increasing Europe's performance in global expeditionary missions. France is at the forefront and the United States is talking more about EU-NATO coordination. The United Kingdom, however, remains hesitant.
