Routledge Understanding Transatlantic Relations Book

Explore the changing dynamics of international politics with Understanding Transatlantic Relations: Whither the West? This academic work from the Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics series examines the shifting connections between the U.S. and its European allies. Following events like the Arab Spring and disagreements within NATO regarding the Libya no-fly zone, the book addresses why the U.S. faces difficulties engaging with European partners. Serena Simoni moves away from traditional methods of study to provide a fresh perspective on these global shifts. By applying a Constructivist theoretical lens, the author examines how the changing identities of transatlantic partners since the early 1990s have shaped their political interests and national actions. This text is a significant resource for students and professionals interested in the evolution of Western political relations and global security.
