Paul Hockenos This article elaborates on the new American administration and how it would be well served to rethink the United States’ relationship to Europe: It should move toward a strategic partnership of equals with the European Union and entertain the possibility of new fora to address global security threats. In the long-term, a close, respectful working relationship with the European Union would enhance America’s own security and enable it to engage much more effectively in a multipolar world. The article argues that NATO is just one of the post-World War II institutions that no longer meets the needs of today’s world. The last decade has witnessed a striking displacement of power, away from the United States but also away from the West as a whole. The current implosion of the western-led financial system has only expedited this shift. When the new global powers begin to assert themselves, as indeed they are increasingly doing now, the United States and the Europeans will realize how much they still have in common. They will thus have to think innovatively about questions like security in a way that they failed to do in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War. If the Euro-Atlantic relationship is going to continue to be a special one, then it has to be on the basis of a partnership of equals, with the United States making important concessions to the Europeans and the Europeans finally stepping up to take care of their own security requirements. One thing is certain: Given the daunting challenges of the 21st century, the United States and Europe are going to need one another more than ever.
ÇËSHTJE TË SIGURISË - 12 143 Transatlantic relations 2009: European expectations for the post-bush era Jan Techau & Alexander Skiba (Editors) The new US administration most likely will reach out to its European partners on many global and bilateral issues. President-elect Barack Obama will most likely demand more substantive and increased contributions from the European allies to a multitude of key projects: from stabilising Afghanistan and waging the war on terror to devising global solutions to the financial crisis and managing the rise of China and engaging India, and from countering Iran to making NATO more flexible for global action. Based on surveys conducted in 15 member states and of the European Union as a whole, this paper explores what the EU and its individual member states expect from the United States in the post-Bush era. Individual case studies outline the concrete issues and fields of action that Europeans seek to address in the transatlantic format. Time to reassess the european security architecture? The nato–eu–russia security triangle Sandra Dias Fernandes NATO will celebrate its 60th anniversary in April during a highly symbolic summit hosted jointly by France and Germany. In contrast to previous key summits in 1999 and 2004, today the allies have to deal with a transformed and oppositional Russia, besides a fast-evolving security environment. A few months ago, Russian President Dimitry Medvedev issued a proposal for a new security treaty. The proposal has added a further element to the catalogue of security disputes causing relations with Washington to deteriorate, among which missile defence continues to be one of the most divisive This paper analyses Russian pressures on security issues and the way the EU and NATO have been addressing them.
