After Europe’s fraught relations with the last Texas Governor-turned President, we should be worried at the prospect of a “George Bush on steroids.” ... MoreJuly 7, 2011 | America and Europe Deeply EntwinedMartyn Bond: So deep are the European Union’s ties with the US that it could be thought of as “the 28th member state”. Cooperation is institutionalized in the transatlantic legislators’ dialogue, the transatlantic economic council, business dialogue, the consumer dialogue, innovation dialogue, energy council, the education policy forum etc. ... MoreApril 13, 2010 | Fight Not Flight for US-EU Strategic DialogueTobias Fella: Atlanticists hoped that Barack Obama would be the savior of transatlantic relations, but dashed expectations have strained the relationship. The US and the EU should not be afraid to engage one another to save the alliance. The partners need to promptly engage in a strategic dialogue on transatlantic issues including trade and the Middle East. ... MoreApril 9, 2010 | Growing US-Central European TiesM. Brzezinski & W. Mitchell: Building a long-term US-Central European relationship requires looking beyond security collaboration. Washington must not repeat the mistake of allowing relations with Central Europe to become disproportionately hinged on a particular initiative or program, and fluctuate according to the ups and downs of the political agenda. ... MoreMarch 23, 2010 | The "Obama Effect" Unveils Transatlantic TensionsKurt Volker: Despite Europe’s public enthusiasm, Barack Obama’s first year in the White House has revealed official dissatisfaction in both the EU and the US over transatlantic relations. Here is a six-step agenda for repairing and strengthening them. ... MoreMarch 19, 2010 | "American Dream" Hardly a Deterrent to RadicalizationJonathan Laurence: A slew of recent arrests of US citizens plotting terrorist attacks has shattered the notion that American multiculturalism and upward mobility is somehow enough to deter extremism. US-EU counter-terrorism efforts must now accept the reality of the threat of home-grown terrorism on both sides of the Atlantic. ... MoreMarch 17, 2010 | NATO Tensions No Cause for AlarmOlaf Theiler: The war in Afghanistan has exposed strains among NATO members, but these tensions do not threaten the stability of the alliance in a fundamental way. Rather, they can lead to better cohesion by showing how NATO’s role in a 21st century security context can be better defined. ... MoreSeptember 9, 2008 | The EU and the US: Peace Brokers for a Secure GeorgiaStefan Fröhlich: The fighting between Russia and Georgia over the separatist enclave of South Ossetia is turning into a reversion of spheres of influence and a balance of power politics in Europe. The EU and the Euro-Atlantic community must take steps to mediate new developments. ...

November 19, 2010 | Europe and America: Aligned for the FutureThe upcoming NATO and US-EU Summit reflect an enduring truth of American foreign policy: The US relationship with Europe is the cornerstone of its engagement with the world, and a catalyst for global cooperation. ++ “Put simply, we are each other’s closest partners.” ++ Moreover, NATO — the most successful alliance in human history — remains as relevant in this century as it was ... MoreApril 9, 2010 | Forging a New Atlanticism“It is an inescapable reality that almost all of today’s great challenges lie outside the traditional NATO relationship, and many are in areas where US and European views have long diverged.” ++ Nevertheless, there remain many areas where US-European cooperation are both desirable and necessary. ++ As the balance of power shifts from West to East, the US and Europe should focus their energies ... MoreFebruary 4, 2010 | EU-US: the One Way LovePresident Obama has declined an invitation to the US-EU summit in Madrid this May due to domestic priorities. ++ Europeans face declining American interest in the EU and are considering postponing the summit. ++ Various signs prove them right; the Lisbon treaty has not yet answered Kissinger’s question: “If I want to call Europe, who do I call?” ++ The EU seems more interested in the US ... MoreDecember 9, 2009 | Why Obama's Giving Europe the Cold ShoulderAs Obama recognizes that we are moving into a post-America world he is bypassing Europe in favour of a multi-partner strategy with powers such as China and Russia. ++ Europe’s infantile attention seeking and complacency is placing it as increasingly irrelevant. ++ The problems can be “addressed only when Europeans take stock of the way the world is changing [and] decide that allowing others ... MoreFebruary 26, 2009 | Brown Must Bring the Global Agenda to ObamaNext week’s meeting with Obama offers PM Brown a chance to inject some energy into his ailing premiership. ++ But the discussion must be more than a photo-op: a closely coordination “war against economic horror” is needed and these two financial centers can be very effective if they work in sync. ++ Indeed, failing to do so was the downfall of the Bush-Blair alliance. ++ ... MoreJanuary 22, 2009 | Improving Transatlantic Relations Rests With EuropeThere can be little doubt that Obama will work hard to remove the bitter taste which his predecessor left in European mouths and embrace the continent in dialog. ++ Making this a successful reality is the responsibility of Europe. ++ It must overcome its penchant for disunion, it must not allow itself to be hindered by its more fainthearted members and it must proactively enter discussions over ... MoreNovember 5, 2008 | Chance to Turn Over a New Transatlantic LeafBy next fall, there will be a new US president, a new European parliament and probably a new EU commission. ++ This means new challenges and huge opportunity to renew positive transatlantic relations. ++ Immediate action is needed to strengthen ties, starting with an invitation for the next US president to address the EU parliament. ++ We need to build a barrier-free transatlantic market and ... MoreAugust 26, 2008 | Obama Will be Good for EuropeObama comes from the most ideological and, therefore, most dangerous part of the Democratic party. ++ He supports policies that will aggravate many international problems. ++ Despite all this, he should be president because the probable hiatus of universal US influence that the Obama presidency may bring would mean an unforeseen break for Europe to act as an adult in world politics. ++ ... MoreAugust 1, 2008 | Obama Overlooks Existing AlliancesWhen Obama visited Europe, he spoke eloquently about needing a US-EU partnership to defeat terrorism. ++ The problem is: the US already have a counterterrorism partnership with the EU and it works efficiently, despite the stereotyping media coverage of aggressive Americans and pacifist Europeans. ++ For instance, the US and the EU succeeded in stopping students in France developing new bombs for ...
