Contains revised papers from a 1998 conference of the Peace Research Institute of Frankfurt, plus additional papers. Experts from both sides of the Atlantic examine the changing relationship between Europe and the US and develop strategies aimed at restructuring and improving the transatlantic relationship. They analyze the consequences of domestic change, and discuss factors including the introduction of the Euro, the example of Degtussa, security and defense, and the US and Europe as global actors. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

This timely collection discusses systematically the societal, political and economic developments that influence the transatlantic relationship, which has been in a state of flux since the end of the East-West conflict. It takes seriously the possibility of lasting cooperation, despite all the contradictions and potential for conflict between the United States and Europe, and asks how permanent cooperation between unequal partners can best be organized and institutionalized.
