Description

This book reflects the Atlantic Council's long-time concern with interdependence and the problems and challenges it poses for the United States and for U.S. allies and friends. The book explores the new breadth and depth of interdependenceówhich has profoundly changed in both respects since World War II, particularly in the last few years. The fundamental premise is that, recognizing together the collective strength that interdependence provides, the nations of the West can do together what no single nation could hope to accomplish acting alone. Contents: include: U.S. Interests Around the World; NATO's Enduring Foundation; The Convention Imbalance in Europe and Alliance Economic Constraints; Strategic Stability and Arms Control; ANZUS and Pacific Basin Security; U.S.-Japanese Security Relations and the Future of Asia; The Interrelationship of Atlantic and Pacific Issues: Allied Security in an Interdependent World. Co-published with the Atlantic Council of the United States.
