THE TRANSATLANTIC RELATION AT A LOSS: EUROPE AND THE USA IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER

Summary/Abstract: The USA and the EU are two main actors, claiming the superpower position in the post-Cold War global order. Once being part of a unitary West, the two are nowadays promoting two conflicting perspectives and strategies in the international relations.
