The United States and the European Union in the 1990s: Partners in Transition [Paperback]

This text probes USA/EU relations at a critical juncture in international relations. It argues that, as both partners engage in wholesale rethinking of common interests, the marriage of convenience of the 1950s could become perilous if appropriate responses are not made to the changing world.List of Figures - List of Tables - List of Abbreviations - Preface - Preface to Second Edition - SECTION ONE: THE NEW CONTEXT OF UNITED STATES-EUROPEAN UNION RELATIONS - Introduction - A Framework for Analysis - SECTION TWO: EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF US-EU INTERDEPENDENCE - The Political Dimension - The Economic Dimension - The Social Dimension - SECTION THREE: RESEARCH AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS - Conclusions - Postscript - Appendix 1: Fora and Content of United States-European Community Relations - Appendix 2: The Transatlantic Declaration, November 1990 - Index

'This is by far the best of recent books on US-EU relations.... It seeks to improve understanding to both academics and policy-makers and succeeds marvellously, combining theoretical awareness, detailed knowledge (usefully presented in numerous tables) and clarity of presentation.... This book can be strongly recommended.' - Nigel Ashford, Journal of Common Market Studies

'Featherstone and Ginsberg's analysis is stimulating and often insightful ... there are lots of good things in this analysis, not least because of the explicitly prescriptive nature of some of the conclusions. It will make the reader think about the nature and the future of European-American relations.' - Michael Smith, West European Politics
