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; and financial crises and trade disputes in the interconnected global economy. This volume explores the conditions and strategies that determine the success or failure of cooperation between the United States and Europe. It looks at the restructuring relations with the East, countering the threat of weapons proliferation; dealing with so-called "rogue" states; and managing the global economy.
