Whether hailed as a vital step in the integration of Europe or berated as a wasteful threat to U.S. power, European citizens are increasingly interested in the common defence policy. Today, ""European Defence"" is more popular than the European Union itself, even in Great Britain. M--eacute--;rand addresses the fundamental challenge posed by military integration to the way we think about the state in the 21st Century. Looking back over
