Although Europe cannot yet challenge America in military terms, and though the Europeans themselves are still debating the structure and size that their union should assume, the EU already uses its vast economic and "soft" geopolitical power to influence world events. What does this reality imply for the United States?
Ambassador Rockwell A. Schnabel and Francis X. Rocca take up this complex question in a detailed, firsthand analysis of the EU institutions, their leadership, and their interaction with the 25 member states. This book examines how the rise of Europe will affect U.S. prosperity and security for decades to come.
Ambassador Schnabel dispenses with diplomatic niceties as he assesses the policies of both Brussels and Washington. Schnabel and Rocca offer an inside look at the people and issues that will decide whether the world's most consequential partnership flourishes or flounders. Alert to the economic and geopolitical challenges posed by a more assertive EU, the authors reject the complacency of those who see American "unipolarity" as a license to neglect our allies or who entertain the illusion that we can "divide and conquer" Europe. This book makes clear why the United States must work with the EU - or expect the EU to work against it.

Condizione: Very Good. Americans have been recently lectured that "Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus." But this slogan fails to account for the economic might of the European Union, which has elevated the EU--and its member countries--to near superpower status. What are the implications of this development for the United States? Ambassador Rockwell A. Schnabel and Francis X. Rocca take up this critical and complex question in a detailed, firsthand analysis of the EU institutions, their leadership, and the member countries. Although Europe today cannot challenge America in military terms, the 25-nation economic giant can influence world events to the benefit or detriment of the United States. This book will answer the timely and crucial question of how the "rise of Europe will affect U. S. prosperity and security for decades to come." Ambassador Schnabel dispenses with diplomatic niceties. He is critical of both U. S. and European policies. Schnabel and 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. Codice articolo 1129
