Synopsis

This collection of essays collectively offers the first detailed statement by a leading contingent of RAND analysts on the contours of a redefined Atlantic partnership. In the wake of the end of the Cold War, the authors point to the viability of shifting particular financial, strategic, political, and other responsibilities from America to Europe without jeopardizing either area's defense. The essays represent the culmination of several years of innovative work at RAND on the subject of NATO "enlargement" and restructuring of the Atlantic Alliance.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This volume offers the first comprehensive statement by a contingent of leading RAND thinkers on the contours of a redefined Atlantic partnership.Individual essays develop and apply this idea in the areas of free trade; NATO reform; joint 'Atlantic' strategies toward the former Soviet Union and the greater Middle East; and other shifts in American and European policies toward one another and the world at large. The work will interest policy and research audiences in world affairs, global business readers, and others engaged in or thinking about America's international role and relations.
