This accessible and astute book provides a full interpretive history of the transatlantic alliance, which has been at the heart of U.S. and European foreign and security policies since NATO was founded in 1949. Stanley Sloan explores the deep roots of current tensions shaking the alliance as its members face the challenge of adapting to new threats posed by terrorism and proliferating weapons of mass destruction. This comes at a time when the U.S.-European relationship itself is in transition as NATO and the EU are taking in new members and seeking constructive ties to Russia. Meanwhile, the United States is trying to adapt to its role as the world's only global power, sometimes acting too much like the hegemon that it has become. Concluding with a perspective on the future of transatlantic relations, the author argues that a new Atlantic Community Treaty is needed to ensure the future vitality of Euro-Atlantic ties.

NATO, the European Union, and the Atlantic Community: The Transatlantic Bargain Reconsidered (Foundations of Cultural Thought)

Now fully revised and updated, this accessible and astute text provides a full interpretive history of the transatlantic alliance and explores critical developments in U.S.-European relations. The first edition highlighted the dangers that U.S. foreign-policy unilateralism could pose for the relationship, a trend that has only intensified over the past few years. Stanley R. Sloan documents and analyzes the substantial ongoing record of U.S. unilateralism and its consequences as the transatlantic and intra-European debate over Iraq produced deep splits among the allies and seriously eroded European trust in U.S. leadership. Ironically, at the same time, the United States and Europe have made historic choices concerning NATO's future, not only continuing the process of enlarging alliance membership but also expanding the concept of NATO's missions to include peacekeeping and enforcement without geographic limitation. Sloan also enlarges on his ideas for a new Euro-Atlantic pact, a call that has now been echoing in both European and American quarters. Assessing both the good and bad news for the alliance, this book remains a central text for college and university courses on U.S.-European relations and transatlantic security issues and thought-provoking reading for all citizens concerned about future US foreign policy and Europe's role in it.

Defense of the West: NATO, the European Union and the Transatlantic Bargain

This bookdelivers a clear and balanced interpretive history of transatlantic security relations from the late-1940s to the present day. The author writes in the authoritative and highly readable style that has made his work required reading for policy makers as well as academic experts on and students of International Relations on both sides of the Atlantic. The lively text is also highly accessible for the citizen who wants to develop an understanding of how the United States and Europe came to their current, complex security relationship. The analysis suggests that the democratic principles and shared interests on which NATO and the European Union are based serve as the foundation for 'the West', a term that originated in the Cold War conflict between western democracies and the Soviet Union, but which continues to have meaning today in light of new challenges to Western security.

History

Manchester University Press

A new addition to the Pocket Politics series, Transatlantic traumas takes a timely, compelling look at connections between external and internal threats that challenge the concept and coherence of the West and its leading institutions, NATO and the European Union. Frank and direct, in a style that’s accessible for all readers, the book pulls no punches about the Western crisis of confidence. After discussing the meaning of “the West” and examining Russian and Islamist terrorist threats, Transatlantic traumas assesses the main internal threats: the rise of radical right populist parties, Turkey’s drift away from Western values, the Brexit shock, and the Trump Tsunami in the United States.Transatlantic traumas concludes by suggesting that the West can be reinvigorated if the political centers in Europe and the United States will reassert themselves in an approach the author calls “radical centrist populism.”

But the book emphasizes the continuing importance of value-based transatlantic security cooperation as a vital element of the defense and foreign policies of NATO and EU member states.At a time of heightened tension and political turmoil, at home and abroad, Stan Sloan's lucid and far-sighted analysis is more necessary than ever.
