March 19, 2010 | "American Dream" Hardly a Deterrent to Radicalization

Jonathan Laurence: A slew of recent arrests of US citizens plotting terrorist attacks has shattered the notion that American multiculturalism and upward mobility is somehow enough to deter extremism. US-EU counter-terrorism efforts must now accept the reality of the threat of home-grown terrorism on both sides of the Atlantic.

March 17, 2010 | NATO Tensions No Cause for Alarm

Olaf Theiler: The war in Afghanistan has exposed strains among NATO members, but these tensions do not threaten the stability of the alliance in a fundamental way. Rather, they can lead to better cohesion by showing how NATO’s role in a 21st century security context can be better defined.

January 6, 2009 | Transatlantic Exchange of Personal Data: A Costly Experiment

Julia Galaski: The internationalization of surveillance is susceptible to abuse and cyberterrorism. A means of assessing the possible side effects of transatlantic data exchange is urgently needed.

September 9, 2008 | The EU and the US: Peace Brokers for a Secure Georgia

Stefan Fröhlich: The fighting between Russia and Georgia over the separatist enclave of South Ossetia is turning into a reversion of spheres of influence and a balance of power politics in Europe. The EU and the Euro-Atlantic community must take steps to mediate new developments.

February 4, 2010 | EU-US: the One Way Love

President Obama has declined an invitation to the US-EU summit in Madrid this May due to domestic priorities. ++ Europeans face declining American interest in the EU and are considering postponing the summit. ++ Various signs prove them right; the Lisbon treaty has not yet answered Kissinger’s question: “If I want to call Europe, who do I call?” ++ The EU seems more interested in the US

December 9, 2009 | Why Obama's Giving Europe the Cold Shoulder

As Obama recognizes that we are moving into a post-America world he is bypassing Europe in favour of a multi-partner strategy with powers such as China and Russia. ++ Europe’s infantile attention seeking and complacency is placing it as increasingly irrelevant. ++ The problems can be “addressed only when Europeans take stock of the way the world is changing [and] decide that allowing others

February 26, 2009 | Brown Must Bring the Global Agenda to Obama

Next week’s meeting with Obama offers PM Brown a chance to inject some energy into his ailing premiership. ++ But the discussion must be more than a photo-op: a closely coordination “war against economic horror” is needed and these two financial centers can be very effective if they work in sync. ++ Indeed, failing to do so was the downfall of the Bush-Blair alliance. ++

January 22, 2009 | Improving Transatlantic Relations Rests With Europe

There can be little doubt that Obama will work hard to remove the bitter taste which his predecessor left in European mouths and embrace the continent in dialog. ++ Making this a successful reality is the responsibility of Europe. ++ It must overcome its penchant for disunion, it must not allow itself to be hindered by its more fainthearted members and it must proactively enter discussions over

November 5, 2008 | Chance to Turn Over a New Transatlantic Leaf

By next fall, there will be a new US president, a new European parliament and probably a new EU commission. ++ This means new challenges and huge opportunity to renew positive transatlantic relations. ++ Immediate action is needed to strengthen ties, starting with an invitation for the next US president to address the EU parliament. ++ We need to build a barrier-free transatlantic market and

August 26, 2008 | Obama Will be Good for Europe

Obama comes from the most ideological and, therefore, most dangerous part of the Democratic party. ++ He supports policies that will aggravate many international problems. ++ Despite all this, he should be president because the probable hiatus of universal US influence that the Obama presidency may bring would mean an unforeseen break for Europe to act as an adult in world politics. ++

August 1, 2008 | Obama Overlooks Existing Alliances

When Obama visited Europe, he spoke eloquently about needing a US-EU partnership to defeat terrorism. ++ The problem is: the US already have a counterterrorism partnership with the EU and it works efficiently, despite the stereotyping media coverage of aggressive Americans and pacifist Europeans. ++ For instance, the US and the EU succeeded in stopping students in France developing new bombs for
