Description
Summary:Foreign policy begins at home, and on each side of the North Atlantic the domestic drivers of foreign policy are shifting in important ways. In this volume we, together with a group of European and American scholars, take a closer look at the domestic determinants of EU and U.S. foreign policy, with a view to the implications for transatlantic relations.We examine domestic political currents, demographic trends, changing economic prospects, and domestic institutional and personal factors influencing foreign policy on each side of the Atlantic. The European authors were asked to focus additionally on how domestic currents within EU member states affect not only national foreign policies, but foreign policy at the level of the EU—itself a work in progress.
