Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When political observers talk European security, they invariably refer to the challenges Western Europe faces on its peripheries, rarely imagining that the greatest dangers to the new Europe may come from within. Without necessarily suggesting a worst case ending, this study argues that there is indeed a series of crises converging on post Cold War Europe that threaten its stability and need to be addressed by European policy makers and taken into account by Americans. Areas of discussion include the welfare state in transition, crisis of the political system, the decline of the nation-state, and prospects for the future.

Download or read book Europe and America written by Miles Kahler and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Americans and Europeans continue to have a unique relationship. But what is the basis for this special affinity? The two essays in Europe and America: A Return to History probe the transatlantic past for answers and seek to draw lessons and guidance for the future. Miles Kahler begins by questioning the prevailing narrative of transatlantic relations. He casts doubt on the widely accepted notion that the strength and durability of U.S.-European relations rest solely on a common fear of external threat. By examining periods prior to the onset of the Cold War, Kahler underscores the deep economic, ideological, and cultural roots of the transatlantic partnership and their continued importance for the future. Werner Link makes a chronological examination of the blueprints that have shaped U.S.-European relations over the past century. By thinking through how politics and geopolitics have interacted to produce many different versions of a recurring puzzle, Link offers a useful catalogue of competing paradigms for thinking about the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Main theses • Despite the trend of rising multi-polarity the transatlantic community of the EU and the US remains a key economic and political alliance on the globe. Nevertheless, Donald Trump’s as-cent as the US President changed the nature of relations between the EU and the US as will the exit of the UK from the European Union. For the first time since World War II, Trump has emerged as an American leader who questioned benefits of European integration. What is worse, some of his statements have been noticeably and openly anti-European.• After the EU membership referendum in the UK and anticipated Brexit, a relationship be-tween Germany and the US, in economic terms, will become the backbone of the transatlantic community due to Germany’s share in economic exchange (FDI, trade in goods and services) between the US and the EU. At the same time, bilateral Polish-US economic relations have been below their potential but Poland’s economy has been strongly integrated with Germany through the global value chains. By default, Poland benefits from European trade with the US, although mostly intermediated by its Western neighbor.• Given President Trump’s rhetoric and actions on trade, there still has been a risk of a trade spat between Germany/EU and the US if not a fully-fledged trade-war. It has been not only the US but also international institutions and EU trade partners that have criticized German trade surplus for a long time. Germany, in turn, repeatedly pointed out at its competitiveness and the need for the trade partners to increase theirs. With time passing, the German posi-tion regarding the country’s trade surplus has become more flexible. A discussion has been ongoing about the need to step up internal German consumption and investments that could contribute to a decrease in its trade surplus. • Poland, because of its frontier location within NATO and the EU, defines its key national inter-ests in its relations with the US mainly in security terms. Since Russia is seen as a rising threat due to its neo-imperial policies, Polish approach and plea remains perfectly legitimate as the US remains the only reliable security provider for the country. It is critical for Poland that re-lations with and within NATO remain strong. This requires, however, to reconcile competing claims of President Trump of a radical increase in military spending by the European allies as a precondition to the survival of the Alliance, with those of Germany, that wants to balance military spending with other security related expenses. • Substantial ideological differences exist between the Polish ruling elite and the Trump admin-istration on the one side, and the mainstream of the German political elite on the other. The current Polish government of Law and Justice (PiS) positions itself as an ideological adherent of President Trump. It tries to use this ideological affiliation to leverage its ties with the US. On the other hand, the same ideological propensities of President Trump that proved so al-luring for the Polish conservatives, have seriously dented America’s image within the German society and, to a lesser degree, among its political elite. • The Polish government has been vehemently pursuing domestic policies that aim at disman-tling both, the rule of law and the ‘checks-and-balances’. These actions have put the country on a collision course with the EU. In consequence, Polish-German bilateral relations have also seriously deteriorated in recent months. Amongst many irritants, the Polish government has been unwilling to accept the de facto German leadership in the EU and its own position as Germany’s junior partner. In response to the rising tensions between Poland and both, the EU and Germany, the Law and Justice (PiS) government has been seeking the US-Polish relation to function as a potential “shield” against the criticism of Berlin and Brussels. The government would willingly see Poland replacing the UK as a key political ally of the US in the EU. This, however, would still need to be a different alliance to that with London as Warsaw does not match the UK’s potential nor the quality of its ties with the US. • The Polish government has been skeptical about the long-term benefits of Poland’s inclusion in the German-Polish economic value chains. To the extend, they see those value chains as a potential barrier for Poland, unhelpful in overcoming a so called “medium income trap” and as leading to a quasi-colonial, peripheral dependency that restricts the country’s sovereignty. The Polish government does not share the view that long-term modernization and conver-gence of Poland with the most advanced economies of the West will largely need to draw on solidified Polish-German economic ties, Poland’s accession to the Eurozone and, only subse-quently, on increasing economic cooperation with non-European countries including the US. In consequence, the idea of a possible decoupling of the Polish economy from Germany and, more widely from the Eurozone, expressed by prominent political figures within the ruling elite may prove a dangerous self-fulfilling prophecy that ultimately undermines Polish eco-nomic development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the transatlantic relationship between the US and Europe from multiple perspectives and disciplines. Since the end of the Cold War, a multi-polar world has replaced the dual power economic and political stranglehold previously shared by the US and Russia. Amid the shift in power politics, the transatlantic partnership between the US and Europe has retained its importance in shaping the outcome of future global developments. With the rise of the US as a major world power and the tremendous economic growths witnessed by countries such as China, India and Brazil, the political power structures within and outside the transatlantic relations have gradually undergone shifts that are important to recognise, understand and critically assess on a consistent basis. Transatlantic Relations and Modern Diplomacy assesses the strengths and weaknesses of this enduring transatlantic relationship from multiple perspectives and disciplines at a time when the US and European countries are facing increasing economic pressures, significant political changes and substantial security concerns. Examining this relationship through a range of different lenses including historical, economic and cultural, this book highlights the importance of examining the transatlantic relationship from a variety of different contextual and historical perspectives in order to herald the future changes as informed global citizens. This book will be of interest to students of transatlantic studies, diplomacy, political science and IR in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union (EU) is a unique partnership in which member states have pooled sovereignty in certain policy areas and harmonized laws on a wide range of economic and political issues. The EU is the latest stage in a process of European integration begun after World War II, initially by six Western European countries, to promote peace, security, and economic development. The EU currently consists of 28 member states, including most of the formerly communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The EU is largely viewed as a cornerstone of European stability and prosperity. For much of the last decade, however, many EU countries have faced considerable economic difficulties. Despite an improved economic situation in the EU since 2017, economic pressures and societal changes have contributed to the rise of populist and antiestablishment political parties, at least some of which harbor anti-EU or "euroskeptic" sentiments. Such trends have complicated the EU's ability to deal with multiple internal and external challenges. Among the most prominent challenges are the pending departure of the United Kingdom (UK) from the EU ("Brexit"); democracy and rule-of-law concerns in Poland, Hungary, and other EU members; migration and related societal integration concerns; a resurgent Russia; and a heightened terrorism threat. Amid these difficult issues, some are questioning the future shape and character of the EU are being. Supporters of the EU worry that some aspects of EU integration could be stopped or reversed. Others contend that the multiple crises could produce some beneficial reforms that ultimately would transform the EU into a more effective, cohesive entity. Recently, considerable attention has focused on developing a "multispeed EU," in which some EU members could pursue greater integration in specified areas and others could opt out. Successive U.S. Administrations and many Members of Congress long have supported the European integration project, viewing it as crucial to European peace and security and as a way to foster strong U.S. allies and trading partners. Despite some tensions over the years, the United States and the EU share a dynamic political partnership on various foreign policy issues and an extensive trade and investment relationship. How the EU evolves in the years ahead may have strategic and economic repercussions for the United States. At the same time, some EU leaders are concerned about President Trump's apparent skepticism of the EU and his reported assessment of the bloc as an economic competitor. Those of this view also worry that elements of the Trump Administration's "America First" foreign policy-such as the U.S. decision to withdraw from the 2015 multilateral nuclear deal with Iran-pit the United States against the EU. A number of European officials and analysts question whether traditional U.S. support for close U.S.-EU relations may be shifting and whether the United States will remain a reliable international partner. Some observers suggest that managing relations with the United States under the Trump Administration has emerged as another, somewhat unexpected, challenge for the EU. At the same time, many in the EU hope to preserve close U.S.-EU ties and EU policymakers continue to seek to cooperate with the Trump Administration where possible on issues of common interest and concern. This report provides a brief history of the EU and the major challenges confronting the bloc. It also discusses the potential implications for the EU and for U.S.-EU relations.
