Synopsis

With the end of the Cold War, Europe is transforming the political relations between its states and recasting its economic organization and security institutions. These changes have great effects on relations between the United States and Europe as they move toward NATO expansion, adjust to a World Trade Organization, and contemplate a set of institutional linkages between the United States and an enlarged European Union.

How should we think about these changes? The best method is careful comparison with earlier episodes of change in international regime, diplomatic alignments, and economic structures. This volume compares and contrasts 1991's creation of a new order in Europe with 1919's, in the belief that many of the issues being dealt with after the Cold War had their origins in World War I and its peace settlement.

Chapters cover alterations in international systems, public opinion and propaganda, minority rights, economic transitions, lessons from the breakup of Yugoslavia, and collective security. The contributors are scholars in history and political science: G. John Ikenberry, Ernest R. May, Michael Burns, Charles S. Maier, Steven L. Burg, and David N. Dilks.
