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.
This hugely successful global history of the twentieth century is
written by four prominent international historians for first-year
undergraduate level and upward. Using their thematic and regional
expertise, the authors have produced an authoritative yet
accessible and seamless account of the history of international
relations in the last century, covering events in Europe, Asia, the
Middle East, Africa and the Americas. They focus on the history of
relations between states and on the broad ideological, economic and
cultural forces that have influenced the evolution of international
politics over the past one hundred years. The third edition is
thoroughly updated throughout to take account of the most recent
research and global developments, and includes a new chapter on the
international history of human rights and its advocacy
organizations, including NGOs. Additional new features include: New
material on the Arab Spring, including specific focus on Libya and
Syria Increased debate on the question of US decline and the rise
of China. A timeline to give increased context to those studying
the topic for the first time. A fully revised companion website
including links to further resources and self-testing material can
be found at www.routledge.com/cw/best Antony Best is Associate
Professor in International History at the London School of
Economics. Jussi M. Hanhimaki is Professor of International History
and Politics at the Graduate Institute of International Studies,
Geneva. Joseph A. Maiolo is Professor of International History at
the Department of War Studies, Kings College London. Kirsten E.

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.
