This new Handbook provides readers with the tools to understand the
evolution of transatlantic security from the Cold War era to the
early 21st century. After World War II, the US retained a strong
presence as the dominant member of NATO throughout the Cold War.
Former enemies, such as Germany, became close allies, while even
countries that often criticized the United States made no serious
attempt to break with Washington. This pattern of security
co-operation continued after the end of the Cold War, with NATO
expansion eastwards extending US influence. Despite the Iraq war
prompting a seemingly irreparable transatlantic confrontation, the
last years of the Bush administration witnessed a warming of
US-European relations, expected to continue with the Obama
administration. The contributors address the following key
questions arising from the history of transatlantic security
relations: What lies behind the growing and continuing European
dependency on security policy on the United States and what are the
political consequences of this? Is this dependency likely to
continue or will an independent European Common Foreign and
Security Policy eventually emerge? What has been the impact of
'out-of-area' issues on transatlantic security cooperation? The
essays in this Handbook cover a broad range of historical and
contemporary themes, including the founding of NATO; the impact of
the Korean War; the role of nuclear (non-)proliferation;
perspectives of individual countries (especially France and
Germany); the impact of culture, identity and representation in
shaping post-Cold War transatlantic relations; institutional
issues, particularly EU-NATO relations; the Middle East; and the
legacy of the Cold War, notably tensions with Russia. This Handbook
will be of much interest to students of transatlantic security,
NATO, Cold War Studies, foreign policy and IR in general.
