Sculpting the Next Transatlantic Relationship

The 21st century confronts Americans and Europeans with numerous challenges and opportunities. As the world is growing closer together, national politics are becoming less relevant, especially in Europe. The EU has taken on a wide range of responsibilities from its member states. What effect does this development have on transatlantic relations?

The new political landscape in Europe demands a revision of thought and a new approach towards transatlantic relations. Collaboration between the EU and the U.S. is the key factor needed to meet the challenges of our modern world.

Is transatlantic cooperation today as important as it was during the Cold War? How can it be adapted and sculpted to meet the new challenges?

Lunch will be served.
