The main Euro-Atlantic institutions the EU, NATO and the OSCE are challenged by recent security setbacks, still-evolving threat patterns and shifts in global power relations. Burdened by the Afghanistan operation, NATO needs to revisit the more general balance between its tasks abroad and safety at home. The EU has belatedly strengthened its security governance with the Lisbon Treaty but remains a weak military actor and divided in other critical dimensions. Interest in pan-European cooperation appears higher than for some years. Europe–US relations are smoother under President Barack Obama but may grow more distant as other world powers demand greater attention.
