Bridging the Atlantic: Domestic politics and Euro-American relations
by Mark Nelson, December 1997

Is the transatlantic relationship an unhealthy dependency, a Cold War relic? That's the view of a growing number of people on both sides of the Atlantic who are increasingly questioning the relevance of the special link between Europe and America. At a time when Europe is poised to become a more influential player on the world stage with the introduction of the euro, Mark Nelson examines the growing scepticism about the Euro-American relationship emerging among domestic audiences and politicians.

Opening the door: The enlargment of NATO and the European Union
by William Wallace, September 1996

Britain and its European allies are now committed to a radical redrawing of their continent's political and economic map. By enlarging both the European Union and NATO, they hope to extend their own prosperity and security to as many as 100 million people in 12-16 poorer and less secure states. Yet the process of enlargement is creating huge institutional, political and economic strains, few of which have yet been resolved.

Can industrial Europe be saved?
by Olivier Cadot and Pierre Blime,
September 1996

Pessimists claim that the European economy is sinking under the weight of an over-regulated labour market and a costly welfare state. Taking a hard-headed look at the facts, Olivier Cadot and Pierre Blime find that Europe's competitive position in manufacturing has declined, industrial Europe is facing declining market shares in most sectors, and our performance in crucial highgrowth industries such as electronics is particularly worrying.

Strength in numbers: Europe's foreign and defence policy
by Charles Grant, September 1996

The countries of the European Union need to speak with a common voice on foreign policy. They share similar fundamental interests, which are sometimes distinct from those of the Americans. But there is no point in the Europeans trying to build their own defence organisation, as an alternative to NATO, because they need access to America's military resources and expertise. The array of institutions that is supposed to make Europe a safer place is both confusing and inadequate.

Reshaping Europe: Visions for the future
by Nick Butler, Philip Dodd, Stephanie Flanders, Timothy Garton Ash, Charles Grant and Kirsty Hughes, September 1996

Many Europeans are unhappy with the way the European Union works. How can it be remodelled? Neither old-fashioned federalism nor chauvinistic Euroscepticism offer the answer. In Reshaping Europe, five writers offer fresh ideas for the future. Discontent that the European Union has not yet come to terms with the fundamental changes of the last decade, notably the revolutions of 1989; and that, despite some positive signs, it remains far too tied to a model of centralised authority and selective protectionism.

Why Europe matters: A personal view
by Ralf Dahrendorf, September 1996

Britain should play an active role in reforming the European Union, not out of starry-eyed idealism, but from hard-nosed self-interest. Ralf Dahrendorf offers ten guiding principles for improving the way the EU works, and argues that its most urgent priority should be to take in new members from Eastern Europe.
