This study uses both theory and empirical evidence to draw relevant conclusions about US foreign policy towards Europe at a critical juncture in the post-Cold War period. It aims to provide an insight into the American response to the European attempts to develop a security identity immediately after the post-cold war period. The book combines a theoretical approach (neo-realism) with that of case studies and places the transatlantic debate on a European security identity in a historic perspective by including a chapter on prior attempts in the EC to develop a political union and by examining the American reactions to these attempts.
