CALL FOR PAPERS
Twilight of the West: Does the Waning of America’s Global Leadership Spell the Weakening Of the Transatlantic Partnership?
Internal and external forces in Europe and the United States are reshaping the transatlantic relationship, which presents a variety of challenges and opportunities. Analyzing these trends is crucial to understanding and shaping the transatlantic relationship moving forward. The 2018 Transatlantic Policy Symposium (TAPS) at Georgetown University will bring together established experts with the next generation of transatlantic leaders to discuss related topics. We are seeking papers that address the forces affecting the future of the transatlantic relationship.
Potential topics may include:
- Does the disengagement of the United States combined with the rise of new powers and the
resurgence of old ones represent a risk for the transatlantic relationship and the global liberal
world order? - How do the financial crisis, trade issues, and the institutional challenges of Brexit threaten
economic cooperation between the United States and the European Union? - How can the United States and Europe work together to tackle global threats such as climate
change, terrorism or cyber risk? - How can the private sector and civilians renew transatlantic unity?
- How can the transatlantic security cooperation be utilized to respond to the need for stability
in the middle east and in northern Africa? - Does the historical evolution of the transatlantic relationship explain the weakening of its
partnership? - Can the power of culture represent a significant tool for transatlantic relations? Could it
help resolve friction between Europe and the United States?
