| Summary/Abstract |
In the triangle of relations between major EU powers, the relationship between Germany and the UK remains historically under-examined. Its implications for the future of European defence cooperation are, however, vital and gradually more decisive. The article examines indices on the direction of this relationship to model the shape and impact of this missing link among the more thoroughly investigated relations of Germany-France and UK-France. As both the UK and Germany were forced to formulate clear positions during the Brexit process, their pronounced interactions offer a unique insight into the development of their bilateral defence cooperation, both present and future, and its impact on multilateral UK-EU defence relations. The central question that arises is whether sufficient progress has been made towards a stronger bilateral defence relationship between these two actors to warrant the designation of a trend towards new bilateralism. The article explores this within three major sectors: (1) official defence cooperation; (2) military cooperation; (3) defence industrial cooperation and finds that overtures and initiatives launched in the examined period are insufficient to alter the relationship toward new bilateralism.

| Summary/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.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyses the motivation of Slovakia to conduct UN peacekeeping operations. This means whether Slovakia participates in these operations on the basis of the logic of consequences or the logic of appropriateness. The official rhetoric has operated with the logic of consequences (instrumental approach), which is used to justify the very broad participation of Slovakia in peacekeeping. However, the relatively non-selective territorial participation in peacekeeping operations would give evidence to actions led by the logic of appropriateness. Nevertheless, the analysis of the individual aspects of Slovak participation has shown relatively convincingly that in the actions of Slovakia in this field-after a short initial phase indicating more likely the logic of appropriateness-an instrumental approach prevailed.
