Inhalt
This course will examine transatlantic relations with particular focus on the relationship between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). Since the end of the Cold War, the potential for conflict between (Western) Europe and the US has increased. From trade to environment, from international criminal justice to security, there has been substantial disagreement on many policy areas in recent years. Many observers, especially since the end of the last Iraq War, have thus talked about a crisis in transatlantic relations. At the same time economic cooperation and interdependence has continued to rise between the (Western) European and North American economic spaces, and cooperation has intensified in some areas, such as the fight against terrorism. In addition, there is widespread agreement that sustainable cooperation between Europe and the United States is desirable, if not necessary. Moreover, since January 2009 with the new US administration in office the odds seem more favourable for a renewal/strengthening of the transatlantic partnership.After a brief introduction (Section A), we will look at the history of transatlantic relations and also analyse the role played by the US in the European integration process (Section B). In Section C we will study different theoretical approaches for analysing the transatlantic relationship. Part D will focus on different issue areas of EU-US relations (e.g. security, trade, finance, environment). The section on issue areas forms the main part of the course and will stretch over six to seven weeks. Finally, we will consider the future of EU-US relations (Section E).
