Abstract

Post-Brexit referendum EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) developments have called for an enhancement of Germany’s leadership in the CSDP. Given fears of German dominance, its self-limitation and diverging French visions, Germany is steered towards building deeper alliances and partnerships. Minilateral cooperation offers unique benefits to the current German leadership dilemma yet remains understudied outside of Western defence cooperation. Based on three representative areas of the CSDP, the article examines the progress and viability of minilateral CSDP cooperation between Germany and Visegrád countries and finds clear indications of growing post-2016 minilateral cooperation with this particular region.
