Overview
The conflict in Bosnia, disputes within the new World Trade Organization and debates about NATO enlargement all illustrate a single point: no relationship is more important in determining the state of international relations than the alliance between Europe and America. Contrary to accepted wisdom, John Peterson argues that the end of the Cold War actually enhances the prospects for partnership between the United States and the European Union. Completely updated, and available in paperback for the first time, this book offers a clear and penetrating analysis of the problems and opportunities facing the transatlantic alliance.

Peterson (U. of Glasgow) updates his "Europe and America in the 1990s" published by Edward Elgar in 1993 to incorporate subsequent events into his argument that the end of the Cold War increases the prospects for a strong partnership between the US and the European Union. He discusses the historical setting, geopolitics, domestic politics, trade and monetary relations, and security. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
