Abstract In light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this contribution to the special issue “Organizing European Security for yet another geopolitical era” argues that European defence should be considered a European public good. First, we develop a definition of European public good embedded in the political economy literature on public goods and state-building; then we discuss how to finance defence as a European public good, and we review public support for EU-level defence instruments.
