Facilitation or Complication? The Visegrád Four and the Security of NATO’s “Eastern Flank”

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Burden-sharing has regularly been a politically contentious matter within NATO. Since the onset of the Ukraine crisis in 2014, maintaining the security of NATO's "Eastern flank" has instilled the expectation that all NATO allies produce contributions of value for a credible collective defence posture. The US has long stressed that each NATO member must do its fair share to uphold the collective security that is consumed by all within the transatlantic club. NATO's four Visegrád (V4) allies-the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia-are either immediately proximate to, or amongst, the "Eastern flank" states most vulnerable to Russian aggression. The V4 are therefore exposed to many security risks should NATO become feeble. With this at stake, one might expect the V4 to display strong performance in providing military assets and political support to further galvanize NATO burden-sharing in Europe. However, this paper makes the argument that there remains considerable scope for the V4 states to improve their contribution to NATO's collective defence posture.
