This volume offers the first comprehensive statement by a contingent of leading RAND thinkers on the contours of a redefined Atlantic partnership.Individual essays develop and apply this idea in the areas of free trade; NATO reform; joint 'Atlantic' strategies toward the former Soviet Union and the greater Middle East; and other shifts in American and European policies toward one another and the world at large. The work will interest policy and research audiences in world affairs, global business readers, and others engaged in or thinking about America's international role and relations.
