%X The main aim of this article is to provide a more solid theoretical anchor for numerous past and present debates about the various versions of American missile defence in Europe. The author claims that the neo-realism¡¯s concept of alliance security dilemma is the most appropriate framework for Czech, Polish, Romanian, and EU-wide experts¡®reflections and political decisions regarding the possible accepting of elements of American or NATO missile defence. Under appreciated explanatory power of the concept of the alliance¡®s security dilemma is illustrated in the text on the case of the original Bush¡®s plan of the so-called third pillar in Poland and the Czech Republic.
