Abstract: Abstract : The United States has always supported the development of a distinct security identity. However, since the end of World War II, initiatives to achieve this goal brought only mixed success. NATO dominates the security environment and is dominated by U.S. leadership. With a diminishing Soviet threat, German unification, the emergence of the Community (EC) in 1992 and the turmoil in Eastern countries, the security environment may now provide the opportunity for the Europeans to assume greater leadership. What should be the U.S. position when it comes to efforts to develop security structures outside of and perhaps in place of NATO? To ascertain the U.S. position requires an examination of the potential U.S. post-Cold-War strategy, the so-called European Pillar, and the changing security environment.
