Description

What will the new world order look like? Will Europe and the United States continue in their tradition of interdependence and admiration or emerge as economic rivals, political strangers, and cultural antipodes as the rest of the world - notably Japan - moves forward? These are just some of the questions explored within this volume. No matter how the questions may be resolved, the transatlantic relationship is in flux, and new roles, responsibilities, and capacities are being defined. Here, leading scholars converge on the prospects for change in US-European relations and offer new insights into the theory and practice of international relations in a reconfigured world. Each essay addresses a set of common themes central to the study of the new global order: causes and consequences of change; balance versus currencies of power; international institutions; conflict versus co-operation; winners versus losers; foreign versus domestic priorities; new roles and policy options. At the same time, each essay is distinguished by the particular theoretical perspective of its author, and all themes and theories are drawn together in an introduction by the international editorial team. Appropriate for general readers and students as well as for specialists, this volume offers a glimpse into some of the most prominent and sophisticated analyses of a key dynamic in world politics today.
