Abstract: The given work explores the current European security environment, external threats and challenges and their effect on the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy. The work gives particular attention to Russia's aggressive policy, Brexit, Jihadi terrorism and migration crisis, as well as, the United States' new isolationist politics. Furthermore, for this work two most powerful EU member states, France and Germany are selected to analyse, as their close cooperation is indispensable for the EU's stronger security and defence role. Selected threats are explored in depth in order to identify their strategic consequences for both, Germany and France. Additionally, the work explores recent EU documents, initiatives and discourse in security and defence area to assess the overall effect of the deteriorated security environment. At the same time, the work uses the balance of threat theory from the Neorealist school and applies document analysis and discourse analysis as a relevant methodology. The study is based on academic works, articles and documents.
