In an Age of American Dominance Does the Transatlantic Relationship Matter.

摘要

This paper was the basis for an address to the International Affairs Forum, Traverse City, Michigan on November 21, 2002. Marten van Heuven is a Senior Consultant at RAND and a Director of the Atlantic Council of the United States. This question of American dominance consists of three elements: The first is America, and the phenomenon of American dominance. The second is Europe, which I define broadly as including Ukraine and Russia. The remaining element is how these two entities interact. But the exercise of American dominance is changing, and so is Europe. Thus, we are looking at two moving targets, and the relationship between them.
