End of the year edition: the future of EU-US military cooperation, and what to watch for in 2018

Brussels2Berlin

Dave Keating and Tyson Barker take a look back at 2017 and the developments in the EU-US military relationship. What does the launch of PESCO, the new EU military defense cooperation that does not have American involvement, mean for the future of NATO? Is it the beginning of the end for the American military protectorate over Europe. In the second half of the podcast, we tell you what to watch for in 2018: elections in Russia and Italy, awaiting a German government, wrangling over Catalan independence, and the finale of the 2014-19 EU legislative term.
