Riassunto

The "Atlantic Divide" between the U.S. and Europe was exacerbated by U.S. moves to invade Iraq in 2003, but it preexisted that crises and will likely survive it, argues Cohen-Tanugi (an international lawyer and columnist for Le Monde ). He believes that efforts towards healing the Atlantic rift must be understood to be linked to European questions of forging a common policy in matters of foreign policy and defense. He traces U.S.-European relations from the end of World War II to the present and argues that it would be to both European and American interests for Europe to forge a strong and unified role on the world stage.

Elegantly written... One noteworthy feature of Cohen-Tanugi's volume is how it cuts against the grain.

Well informed, thoughtful, and lucid, Cohen-Tanugi's is a voice that should be heard... His newest book is a remarkably balanced reflection on the tensions between the European approach to world affairs and U.S. diplomacy since September 11.

A thoughtful, provocative, and timely analysis of transatlantic relations.

(Colette Mazzucelli Newropeans Magazine 1900-01-00)

While transatlantic ties remain solid, based on common democratic values, Cohen-Tanugi argues that the US and Europe must work harder to bridge their existing differences in a world where virulent anti-Westernism is increasing.

(Choice 1900-01-00)

Cohen-Tanugi provides a solid overview of key developments in Transatlantic and European affairs since the end of World War II and argues passionately in favor of Euro-Atlanticism.

This passionate appeal for transatlantic cooperation couldn't be more timely. Cohen-Tanugi's is a fresh voice that deserves to be heard, in Paris and in Washington.
