The United States and the Future of Europe, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book collects 41 national views from EU Member States and neighbouring countries regarding their respective relationship with the United States. It gives evidence of the importance and diversity of transatlantic relations, assesses the potentially disruptive impact of a second Trump presidency and offers policy recommendations. They range from more strategic autonomy and investments in Europe's security architecture and industrial infrastructure to careful crafting of EU relations with China, deeper cooperation in tech and climate policies, as well as NATO enlargement. While the Trump administration will likely defend its interests and a preference for 'divide and conquer', the decades-old call for Europe to speak with one voice vis-à-vis the U. S. is louder than ever. Nonetheless, numerous countries still seem to favour 'special' bilateral ties to the U. S. The book explores the ebbs and flows of transatlantic relationships and carefully speculates about the next four years.
