The United States and Europe in the global arena

"With the end of the Cold War the United states and its European allies face a proliferation of challenges from around the world: political and economic turmoil in emerging democracies; regional conflicts and civil wars; the spread of weapons of mass destruction; financial crises and trade disputes in the interconnected global economy." "For these to be addressed effectively the United States and Europe must turn their focus from transatlantic issues, and they must work together.". "This volume explores the conditions and strategies that determine the success or failure of cooperation in restructuring relations with the East, countering the threat of weapons proliferation, dealing with so-called 'rogue' states, and managing the global economy." "The book evaluates the conditions and strategies that have contributed to a few success stories and makes recommendations for future cooperative efforts."--BOOK JACKET.
