America and Europe: A Partnership for a New Era

by David C. Gompert (Editor), F. Stephen Larrabee (Editor)

Overview

This collection of essays collectively offers the first detailed statement by a leading contingent of RAND analysts on the contours of a redefined Atlantic partnership. In the wake of the end of the Cold War, the authors point to the viability of shifting particular financial, strategic, political, and other responsibilities from America to Europe without jeopardizing either area's defense. The essays represent the culmination of several years of innovative work at RAND on the subject of NATO "enlargement" and restructuring of the Atlantic Alliance.
