Publisher's Synopsis
Is the transatlantic relationship an unhealthy dependency, a Cold War relic? That's the view of a growing number of people on both sides of the Atlantic who are increasingly questioning the relevance of the special link between Europe and America.;At a time when Europe is poised to become a more influential player on the world stage with the introduction of the euro, Mark Nelson examines the growing scepticism about the Euro-American relationship emerging among domestic audiences and politicians. He argues that while the relationship is as important as ever, it must broaden its appeal beyond the foreign policy gurus and military experts who have been its traditional advocates. He outlines the central role that Britain must play both in deepening its ties to the Continent and convincing the Americans to work with Europe to maintain a stable global order.
