Unity of Deterrence and Resilience

Abstract

In this article I would like to draw your attention to the renascence of an old concept,
which was among the decisions of the NATO Summit in Warsaw 2016 but
it did not receive enough attention to become generally known. I consider it very
important to understand how resilience strengthens NATO`s deterrence and
collective defence the basic strategic essence of the Alliance. It also helps better
understanding if we look into the continuous changes of the security environment
which first brought resilience into being, than abolished and now revitalized it
again. Through the Hungarian regulation of this field I compared the EU`s and NATO`s different approaches and focuses in development of resilience and made
a suggestion for synchronization of requirements.
