Title: Visions of America and Europe
Description: "Of the many books analyzing the clash between the Bush administration and much of Europe, this one . is among the most valuable."--Foreign Affairs. "This collection of essays is a must-read for all those who still believe the West has, and must have, a future. It is both informed and passionately moderate." -- Dominique Moisi, Senior Adviser, French Institute for International Relations. Visions of America and Europe provides a thoughtful examination of transatlantic relations since the events of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent Iraq war. A compilation of essays by U.S. and European analysts, the book seeks to identify the forces that are shaping the respective policies and public perceptions on either side of the Atlantic. It attempts to trace the origins of the post-September 11 transatlantic rift and to illuminate the current and future challenges for bilateral relations and for the relationship between Europe and the United States. Five European contributors offer perspectives focusing on the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia, complementing the views of three U.S. scholars, against the background of the editors' introductory and concluding observations. Even as events continue to confound observers on both sides of the Atlantic, this volume offers perceptive commentary on questions that are likely to be with us for a long time.
