    AnnotationThe goal of this article is to analyze the near future of NATO as a function of economic austerity spreading all over the world. One major solution which has been offered at the 2012 Chicago Summit by Secretary General Rasmussen projects into the smart defense approach. Smart defense is pursued as the idea of deeper cooperation, prioritization and specialization of the member states of NATO in the defense area. Alliance is invoking all of the member states, and mainly European countries, to participate and help to make their investment in security “smarter,” i.e. through adoption of common approaches to developing capabilities. However, the economic austerity is not the main reason. It is clear that Washington is not willing to secure European defense sector to the extent of post-Cold war era. It is now the task for European states to deal with their security challenges. As long as economic austerity is preventing European states to provide full range of defense capabilities at a required level on their own, the necessity of a broader cooperation is really emerging. The solution seems simple, but the harder part is the implementation of the main pillars of smart defense. It is clear that it would affect the fundamental attributes of states’ sovereignty, because it considerably influences the comprehension of the national state. Furthermore, besides the Alliance, there is also another platform for cooperation in the European region – the EU that offers compatible opportunities via its “Pooling and sharing” approach. The aim of this article is to explore whether the approach of smart defense is really smart enough, so as to be able to overcome all the political and economic traps on the way to the full implementation of the concept.
