What does Europe want from the United States?

GMF Editor — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:45:09 +0000

For the last decade, much of the transatlantic discourse has been driven by the question of what European partners can do to support U.S. strategy in key regions, and on critical issues. Successive U.S. administrations have pressed European governments to increase their defense spending, enlarge and extend their commitments in Afghanistan, and uphold a common front on the Iranian nuclear challenge. In the Balkans and North Africa, the United States has grown increasingly comfortable with the idea of Europe taking the lead. Absorbed with its own economic challenges since 2008, the United States has taken an arms-length approach to Europe's financial and political travails, but with a clear preference for stimulus over austerity. On a range of global issues, including climate policy, Washington has been reluctant to embrace an ambitious approach. The growing U.S. attention to Asia in strategic terms has only reinforced Washington's interest in seeing Europe emerge as a more active and capable global actor. It has also spurred European anxiety about changing U.S. priorities.

The U.S.-EU Economic Partnership

GMF Editor — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:38:29 +0000

With economic recovery still sluggish in the United States and Europe still dealing with its economic crisis, the European Union and the United States have jointly decided to launch negotiations on a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership to boost jobs and growth. The case for such an agreement is strong. Although trade barriers are already low, the sheer size of the transatlantic economy —$30 trillion — means that even small improvements can yield significant gains. With half of the world GDP, one-third of world trade flows and 15 million jobs linked to it, the transatlantic economy is still the driver of the world economy. A Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership would thus have global implications and could also deliver much needed progress for global trade.
