Both Europe and the US have now dampened the shrillness of
invectives hurled against each other over the last years. But the
underlying differences have not been resolved. The two sides drift
apart in their views on what internal politics should achieve, as
well as in their vision of the global order they would like to see
established. The economies of both Europe and the US are highly
developed and densely interwoven. Their societies are post
industrial. Many social and economic trends converge. Similar too,
are the challenges to maintain security against threats emanating
from other parts of the world. Divergences thus do not originate
from conflicting material interests. They arise from different
perceptions of the nature and of the threats from the outside world
and from how the two societies wish to define themselves through
their internal and external policies. The search for a distinct
"European" or "American" identity fuels this discord. Therefore,
appeals to common merely material interests will not obliterate it.
The twelve contributions to this book address these concerns,
reaching beyond academia to those that are involved in actual
international decision making.
