Editorial Reviews

The United States and Europe: Policy Imperatives in a Globalizing World represents a thoughtful, provoking and comprehensive assessment of the key issues confronting America's relations with Europe at the onset of the new millennium. Beyond that, the work frames U.S. - European relations within the broader context of American national interests and Washington's global political, economic and security objectives. It does so through an integrated, interdisciplinary approach with both a policy descriptive and prescriptive emphasis. This work represents a valuable contribution to the literature on contemporary U.S. - European relations and is essential reading for policy makers and scholars alike. As such, it makes an outstanding contribution to Ashgate's Global Interdisciplinary Studies Study.
