Comment/Description

In light of the current crisis in Ukraine and the turmoil in the Mideast it is ever more important to think about the prospective orientation of transatlantic relations – especially since these examples are only two of many issues challenging the transatlantic community these days. The free trade agreement between the European Union and the United States, the changes NATO has been undergoing as well as the so-called U.S. pivot to Asia are also concerns this seminar will address among others.
Apart from the specific issues mentioned the seminar will also reflect on the future of transatlantic relations from different perspectives including economic, foreign, and security policies. In addition the development of U.S.-European ties will be examined as well as different schools of thought of International Relations with regard to the history and future of transatlantic affairs.
