Glyn Morgan The Rise and Fall of American Europe (Hardback)

The Rise and Fall of American EuropeGlyn MorganLabel: Polity PressDescription: At the dawn of the Cold War the US administration pushed reluctant Europeans to create a federation of democratic states. In doing so they gave birth to an American Europe – a new political order protected by the US military and buoyed by transatlantic trade.Europe now faces a stark reality. The Trump Administration dislikes NATO considers the EU's trade policies worse than China['s] and attacks the banning of nationalist parties. Many in the MAGA movement are similarly hostile to Europe which they see as an overregulated museum a US dependency powerless on the world-stage.This book explains why American Europe fell from favor. It weighs the prospects of alternative European political orders including a National-Sovereigntist Europe a Global Europe and a European Europe. It argues that Europe needs to rethink its alliances and Britain must decide where it belongs.
