This volume focuses on the uses of collective memory in
transatlantic relations between the United States, and Western and
Central European nations in the period from the Cold War to the
present day. Sitting at the intersection of international
relations, history, memory studies and various "area" studies,
Memory in Transatlantic Relations examines the role of memory in an
international context, including the ways in which policy and
decision makers utilize memory; the relationship between trauma,
memory and international politics; the multiplicity of actors who
shape memory; and the role of memory in the conflicts in post-Cold
War Europe. Thematically organized and presenting studies centered
on the U.S., Hungary, France, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the
authors explore the built environment (memorials) and performances
of memory (commemorations), shedding light on the ways in which
memories are mobilized to frame relations between the U.S. and
nations in Western and Central Europe. As such, it will appeal to
scholars across the social sciences and historians with interests
in memory studies, foreign policy and international relations.

Is the U.S. as a country still capable of finding common ground and
effective policy responses in the 21st century, or are the dividing
lines within U.S. society actually becoming too deep and too wide
to bridge, with potentially grave consequences for American social,
political as well as economic development? This book discusses
important contemporary U.S. wedge issues such as gun rights, racial
and economic inequality, the role of the state, the politics of
culture, interpretations of history and collective memory,
polarization in national politics, and factionalism in domestic and
foreign policy. It provides readers with conceptual tools to grasp
the complexity of the current processes, policy formation, and
political and social change under way in the United States.
