    El problema de la autonomía estratégica de la Unión Europea (UE) está siendo objeto de gran interés dentro de los círculos políticos de la Unión. Este término, originalmente impulsado por Francia y enfocado principalmente a la defensa, ha evolucionado para incluir un conjunto más amplio de consideraciones de seguridad como la economía, la salud o la tecnología por citar unos pocos. Sin embargo, este concepto retiene todavía una importante dimensión de defensa. Este artículo explora este asunto en profundidad, principalmente en relación con la dimensión de la defensa, pero también observando los aspectos organizativos, industriales y tecnológicos relacionados, intentando identificar las principales restricciones que pueden acotar o poner en riesgo esta deseada autonomía.

    The issue of the “strategic autonomy of the European Union (EU)” is being subject to high interest within the EU policy circles. This term, originally propelled by France and mainly focused on defence, has evolved to include a much broader set of security considerations as the economy, the health or technology to just name a few. However, this concept still retains an important defence dimension. This paper deeply explores this issue, mainly in relation to the defence dimension, but looking at the organizational, industrial and technological aspects which are closely related, trying to identify the different constraints that may bound or endanger this autonomy.
