Summary

"Security Strategy and Transatlantic Relations "is the first major assessment of the impact on transatlantic relations of the US National Security Strategy of 2002 and the European Security Strategy of 2003. The book argues that the US and EU security strategies have an enduring relevance, representing critical efforts to reconceptualize the radically changed nature of post-9/11 international security and to define new post-Cold War security doctrines. These strategies provide insights into the strains and tensions in the transatlantic relationship, particularly during and after the 2003 Iraq War, but also reveal how both the US and EU have become "revolutionary," not status quo, powers. The contributors to this volume address three key questions. The first is the degree to which these new security strategies signal convergence or divergence in US and EU foreign and security policy. Second, what tangible political and policy impacts can be attributed to the new security strategies, particularly in a "war on terrorism" and on the role of NATO? Third, what are implications for US and EU policies towards specific regions, particularly the Middle East, Russia and China? Offering wide-ranging perspectives on transatlantic security policies, this new text will appeal to students and scholars of International Relations, European Politics, American Politics and Security Studies.
