Partners of First Resort - America, Europe, and the Future of the West

Fostering a transatlantic renaissance to salvage the Western alliance
The authors outline a "transatlantic renaissance," in which U.S. and European leaders would work together to craft a new Atlantic Charter that would restore the liberal objectives that animated the Western alliance for more than seven decades. Modernizing institutional relationships across the Atlantic should help both the United States and Europe address common challenges jointly and improve burden sharing. The world needs a vibrant and energetic West to protect fundamental values from illiberal forces, both internal and external.
