From Partners to Rivals? The Evolving Dynamics Of America And Europe

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the USA-EU relationship, exploring its evolution, challenges, and future prospects in a rapidly changing world. Pros and Cons The USA-EU relationship has been a cornerstone of global stability, fostering economic growth, technological innovation, and democratic governance. The transatlantic trade and investment partnership remains one of the world's largest, benefiting both economies. However, the relationship has also faced challenges, including policy divergences on issues like data privacy, taxation, and regulation. The EU's pursuit of strategic autonomy, particularly in defence and technology, has sometimes clashed with US interests. Challenges Key challenges include managing economic competition, particularly in technology and green energy, addressing China's growing influence, and navigating crises like the war in Ukraine. Divergences over climate policy, trade, and NATO burden-sharing have also tested the relationship.
