The Changing Role of NATO and EU CSDP in Central European Security – The Case of Croatia

The EU and NATO accession process had a paramount importance for the transition process in Croatia. It was not only important for the reforms that country had to undertake, but also for the processes of identity-building and strategic alignment to the transatlantic community. This chapter analyses the way Croatia tackles current geostrategic challenges, the way it positions itself within the contemporary transatlantic community, how does it perceive the role of NATO and EU's CSDP as an emerging tool at the disposal of the EU to face current security challenges and threats. Hence, besides looking at national security and defence policies and importance of EU's CSDP and NATO for their contextualisation, this text analyses also the domestic discourse about the aforementioned issues.
