Recenzii

"No one is more qualified to write a study on transatlantic relations than Stan Sloan. During his professional life at the Congressional Research Service he has gathered invaluable insights in the field of transatlantic relations. He continued his career teaching and researching the subject matter at American and European universities and 'think tanks'. Through careful research and thoughtful analysis, Sloan outlines in a new book the past. present and future of the transatlantic bargain. He convincingly argues that although NATO lies at the heart of the transatlantic bargain, NATO has always been more than simply a collective defense organization. It also represents a community of values. Whether this will be enough to survive the 21st century remains to be seen. He discusses various ideas and opinions to strengthen NATO's viability, putting forward amongst others the idea for a reinforced Atlantic community. Sloan's book is an outstanding study on the subject matter of transatlantic relations. He is an original thinker, an experienced researcher and - clearly visible- loves the subject matter. This study is a must both for teachers and students of political science and contemporary history." Bram Boxhoorn, Director Netherlands Atlantic Association
