Ambassador Rockwell A. Schnabel and Francis X. Rocca give readers a compelling and provocative inside look at the people and issues that will decide whether the world's most consequential partnership flourishes or flounders. While alerting readers to the economic and geopolitical challenges posed by a stronger EU, the authors reject the complacency of those who see American unipolarity as a license to neglect our allies, or those who entertain the illusion that we can divide and conquer Europe. This book will make clear why the U.S. must work with the EU-or expect the EU to work against it.

"La fin de la guerre froide a ouvert une longue période d'optimisme libéral à laquelle semble succéder une ère de repli (Brexit, élection de Donald Trump...). Donald Trump n'est ni un accident de l'histoire ni un phénomène passager. Il est le symptôme d'une transformation profonde de la puissance américaine en crise. America First est le slogan d'un pays fatigué de porter l'ordre international et qui prône désormais le rapport de force brut, le protectionnisme économique et culturel. La personnalité du président Trump masque une rétractation structurelle déjà amorcée par Barack Obama. Ce livre analyse les forces historiques, géopolitiques comme intérieures, qui ont déterminé ce changement durable. Il n'y aura pas de retour au g paradis perdu de l'ordre ancien. Le modèle que promeut l'Europe - multilatéralisme et coopération - est mis à mal par la multiplication des crises, la montée des nationalismes et le retrait américain. Si l'Europe est faible, Trump pourrait bien devenir la nouvelle norme des relations internationales : une crispation nationaliste et illibérale, incarnée par les "hommes forts b, de Poutine à Erdogan. Seule une Europe souveraine, capable de défendre sans naïveté ses intérêts, peut répondre à ce nouveau défi."--Page 4 of cover.

This book offers an overview of the interface between European integration, transatlantic relations, and the 'rise of the rest' in the early 21st century. The collapse of the Soviet bloc opened up an era in which the drivers and perceived benefits of the US alliance among European countries have become more variegated and shifting. The proposition that the US remains at once an 'indispensable' and 'intolerable' nation in Europe is a key concept in the alliance, as the US remains inextricably tied to the continent through economic, military and cultural links. This work examines this complex subject area from many angles, including an analysis of the historical and cultural contexts of America's relations with Europe, as well as a discussion of the politics of transatlantic affairs which utilises evidence gleaned from a series of case-studies. In the concluding chapters, the author assesses the likelihood that the West can entrench its global dominance in the realms of "soft" and "hard" power, and by effecting a "controlled reform" that will see multilateral structures open up to emerging powers. This book will be of great interest to students of European Politics, EU integration, transatlantic relations, US foreign policy/diplomacy, International Security and IR in general.
