Foreign & Transatlantic Relations
GMF promotes dialogue on important global issues impacting Europe and North America. In a globalized world, the term “transatlantic” does not refer to a closed loop between North America and Europe, but rather to the widening community of countries and organizations that interact with the transatlantic region, their common areas of interest, and their shared values. GMF’s programs on foreign and transatlantic policy endeavor to:
- find opportunities for greater cooperation and policy integration;
- research and debate key functional issues affecting international security and development; and
- strengthen the policy debate on both sides of the Atlantic, and between the transatlantic alliance and its global partners.
