Ideas for Europe’s New Leadership: A Transatlantic Perspective

The change in Europe’s leadership in Brussels offers an opportunity to assess the challenges the EU is facing and to formulate ideas for new strategies and policies in the coming five years. The transatlantic perspectives of this volume written by GMF experts focus on core policy challenges for Europe that matter most from a transatlantic perspective such as the euro area, trade, security and defense, and policies dealing with energy security, migration, and regions — such as Europe’s neighborhoods and Asia. The issues at stake and how the EU addresses them either affect the United States as a stakeholder, require transatlantic coordination, or offer opportunities for an exchange on lessons learned and good practices among the transatlantic partners.
