Transatlantic Relations Since 1945 offers a comprehensive account
of transatlantic relations in the second half of the 20th century
(extending to the present-day). The transatlantic relationship has
been the bedrock of international relations since the end of World
War II. This new textbook will focus on the period since the defeat
of Nazi Germany, when the multitude of links between United States
and Western Europe were created, extended, and multiplied. Written
in an accessible style, it emphasizes transatlantic interactions,
and avoids the temptation to focus on either U.S. 'domination' or
European attempts to 'resist' an American effort to subjugate the
old continent. That influence has travelled across the Atlantic in
both directions is one of the starting points of this text.
Structured chronologically, the book will be built around three key
themes: Security: From the Cold War to the War on Terror Economics:
Integration and Competition 'Soft power' and Transatlantic
Relations. This book will be of great interest to students of
transatlantic relations, NATO, US Foreign Policy, Cold War History,
European History and IR/International history.

Among postwar political leaders, West German Chancellor Willy
Brandt played one of the most significant roles in reconciling
Germans with other Europeans and in creating the international
framework that enabled peaceful reunification in 1990. Based on
extensive archival research, this book provides a comprehensive
analysis of Brandt's Ostpolitik from its inception until the end of
the Cold War through the lens of reconciliation. Here, Benedikt
Schoenborn gives us a Brandt who passionately insisted on a gradual
reduction of Cold War hostility and a lasting European peace, while
remaining strategically and intellectually adaptable in a way that
exemplified the 'imaginativeness of history'.
