Changing Identities and Evolving Values: Is There Still a Transatlantic Community? (Changing Societies)

This book is part of CTR's Changing Societies series. The contributors offer perspectives on how underlying values affect government policies —from homeland security to religion and society. The book asks: are transatlantic relations affected not only by what governments and others are doing, but by what our societies are becoming?
