Central Eastern Europe: American interests

Summary/Abstract: The EU as an institution, and its West European founder states, are not considered to have sufficient military power, international prestige, or political will to ensure further euro-atlantic enlargement. As a result, each CEE government has sought to develop a „special relationship” or „strategic partnership” with the U.S. During President Bush’s first term, relations between the U.S. and many of the EU member states deteriorated and the role of NATO, whoch keeps America closely engaged in Europe, came under severe strain. U.S. policy makers drew some specific lessons from the 1999 NATO military campaign over Kosovo, during which the inadequacies of European defense capabilities were glaringly exposed. The politologist, living in Washington, analyses the changing relation between the U.S. and the region’s states.
