This volume offers a comprehensive analysis of transatlantic relations throughout the long 20th century. Reflecting on the tensions between identity and alterity, which have informed the relationship between Europe and the United States since the colonial era, The Atlantic Alliance in the Long 20th Century takes a transnational approach to situate Euro-American history within a global context and provide an understanding of how the Atlantic alliance has been built, maintained and challenged.
Centring on the formation of “Atlantica”, a political and security community that emerged after World War II, it raises critical questions about the nature and manifestation of American hegemony in Western Europe; what were the foundational pillars of this community, and how did the balance of power evolve within it? Also exploring the interplay between transatlantic relations and European integration, it asks how the EU and EC fitted into this Atlantic community, and seeks to understand whether the Atlanticist vision and European project had common goals, or were their processes antagonistic?
In examining the tensions between Atlanticism and Europeanism, and whether their approaches were independent or convergent, Bitumi sets out what this means for contemporary relations today. Arguing that the three foundational pillars of the Atlantic order- democracy, deregulated capitalism and cosmopolitan internationalism- have faced significant strain since the 2008 financial crisis, this book reflects on the origins of this crisis and the challenge it poses to the ongoing unity and cohesion of the Atlantic Alliance, and the trajectory of the Euro-American relationship.
Alessandra Bitumi is Assistant Professor of International History at University of Teramo, Italy. She has held previous positions at Vreij Universiteit, The Netherlands, New York University, USA, and Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, France.
