In Search of a New World Order - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

In the aftermath of the Cold War era, a new world order is being created at an extraordinary pace. Europe is moving toward becoming a power of its own, Germany is growing into a new power center, NATO is looking for a new role, the Soviet Union has ceased to be a superpower threat, and the United States is going through its own superpower adjustments. In light of this new order, one of the most crucial questions for world stability will be the future relationship between the United States and the new Europe. Because of the drastic shakeup of the European kaleidoscope and the desirability to present a wide range of perspectives, this volume brings together some of the most experienced international personalities to interpret the repercussions of these changes and assess the impact they will have on future political, economic, trade, financial, industrial and security developments and, above all, on American-European relations. The list of contributors includes James Schlesinger, former US Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Energy and Assistant Directors of the Office of Management and Budget; David Owen, former British foreign secretary and head of the Social Democratic party; Michel Louis Leon Rocard, the former French Prime Minister; Jean Francois-Poncet, the leading columnist of Le Figaro and a former French Foreign Minister; Kurt Hans Biedenkopf, Minister President of Saxony, member of the Bundestag, and former secretary general of the Conservative party in West Germany; Dr Bernhard Gleske, recently retired Vice President of theGerman Bundesbank; Michael Stuermer, head of the Stiftung for Wissenschaft and Politik and an influential foreign policy adviser to Chancellor Kohl; Giovanni Agnelli, head of Fiat; and Fritz Leutwiler, chairman of Brown Boweri.
