The Future of the European Union and the United States
Abstract: This article discusses current tensions in the US-EU relationship, explores its roots from World War II to the present day and examines possible futures for these two actors given their recent trends. It argues that while bilateral relations have become more distant over time, both partnerships can find a way forward if they re-invest in multilateral cooperation as well as each other’s security. The article concludes with recommendations to the US and EU for moving forward on this frontier of international politics
The United States and European Union have long enjoyed friendly ties that are reflected by their shared commitment towards liberal democratic values, free trade and multilateral institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF. Despite some differences over policy issues in recent years, bilateral relations between Washington and Brussels are still considered relatively strong compared to other major powers (such as China). But while this is a positive development for US-EU cooperation, it has also led to an increasingly multidimensional relationship where each partner struggles with the challenges posed by their respective foreign policy goals.
The root of these tensions goes back all the way from World War II when Europe was divided between East and West. Afterwards there were two main phases: First, in the Cold War period (1945-1990) which saw a strong divide on issues such as arms control agreements, trade policies and the European integration project; Second, after 2003 when George Bush’s decision to invade Iraq marked an abrupt departure from Europe’s opposition towards that action. This division between the US (and later its allies) over military intervention versus support for democratisation efforts continued through Barack Obama’s presidency but with slightly different nuances such as Russia’s growing assertiveness on NATO’nantions/12045346.html).
Nowadays, the United States faces a complex world where it has to balance its relationship between Europe and Asia while also dealing with new threats coming from non-state actors like terrorist groups or cyber criminals. On one hand, President Trump seems determined at times (e.g. when he threatened tariffs on imported cars) that the US should act unilaterally if necessary in order to protect American interests against what Washington considers unfair competition. On the other side, there are signs from some EU leaders who argue for a stronger European strategic autonomy but also express support towards deeper cooperation between North America and Europe as an alternative path forward (e.g. during Donald Trump’s state visit in April 2018).
These different approaches have resulted into divergent policies over issues such as climate change, globalization or migration where European countries are more willing than their American counterparts to work with other regional partners through multilateral frameworks (e.g. the Paris Agreement). This has caused tensions not only between Washington and Brussels but also within Europe itself since some of its members favour closer relations with China while others seek deeper integration into NATO structures or more autonomy from European institutions like the EU Commission in order to defend their sovereignty against perceived external interference.
One possible solution for reconciling these differences could be through strengthening existing multilateral arrangements such as the G7, BRICS or ASEAN plus 1 which provide a forum where both sides can engage in dialogue while avoiding direct confrontations over contentious topics (e.g. during Trump’s meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel last week). Another option might involve promoting new regional organisations that take into account the specific needs and expectations of each partner such as a transatlantic security pact based on shared values or norms rather than just economic interests (e.g. similar to how NAFTA functioned until its replacement by USMCA in 2019).
However, it is important that any efforts towards enhancing cooperation between the two sides do not come at the expense of either side’s national sovereignty or ability to pursue their respective foreign policy objectives. For instance, European countries should be careful when aligning themselves too closely with China given its growing economic clout and authoritarian regime (e.g. see France's recent decision not to join China-led BRI projects due to concerns over human rights violations). Similarly, the US needs to remain open towards potential partnerships outside of traditional Western allies in order not only improve relations with other global powers but also address emerging challenges such as cyber threats or climate change where cooperation across borders becomes essential.
In conclusion, while it is clear that there are many areas where the United States and European Union can work together more effectively – especially when it comes to promoting democracy abroad or tackling global issues like climate change – they also need to recognise their differences in order to prevent further deterioration of bilateral ties. This means re-investing in multilateral institutions as well as finding ways for both sides to support each other's security while respecting national interests. Only through such mutual understanding can the US and EU hope to continue playing a key role on the global stage during this era of uncertainty where new threats are constantly emerging (e.g. see Russia’s recent intervention in Syria).
Recommendations for both sides include:
- The US should consider more multilateral approaches when dealing with issues like climate change or migration since these require cooperation between different regions rather than just bilateral relations based on economic interests alone; this also means being open towards engaging new partners such as African countries which may offer alternative perspectives compared to traditional Western allies (e.g. see the recent establishment of a US-Africa Strategy under President Biden).
- European governments should try not to overly align themselves with any single country like China where there is risk for conflicts arising due to diverging values or interests; instead, they could pursue more balanced relations between their own regional partners and other major powers based on common goals (e.g. see Germany's decision not to join the BRI projects because of concerns over human rights violations).
- Both sides must recognise that national sovereignty is essential for each country’s ability to pursue its foreign policy objectives; this means avoiding actions which may be perceived as interference by other states but also ensuring mutual respect when dealing with sensitive issues such as security or defence (e.g. see France's recent rejection of Chinese investments in key infrastructure projects due to concerns over possible spying activities).
- Lastly, the US and Europe need to find ways for promoting democracy abroad while avoiding imposing their views on other countries through military intervention or pressure tactics; this means supporting regional organisations like ASEAN which can provide a platform where different perspectives are taken into account (e.g. see how Russia's role has evolved within the Eurasian Economic Union after joining it last year).
Overall, there is much potential for cooperation between Washington and Brussels but also significant challenges that must be overcome in order to prevent further escalation of tensions. By focusing on multilateral arrangements as well as supporting each other's security while respecting national interests – both sides can continue contributing effectively towards global stability during this volatile period marked by rising populism, geopolitical rivalries and new threats from non-state actors like terrorist groups or cyber criminals (e.g. see North Korea’s recent launch of a ballistic missile which has increased tensions between its leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump).
Theory Of Change: Increased cooperation in multilateral settings will reduce mistrust between the US and Europe while also improving global stability. This could potentially lead to stronger economic growth for both sides as they work together on issues such as climate change or trade negotiations within existing frameworks like G7, BRICS or ASEAN plus 1 (e.g. see how European countries have started engaging more with China despite concerns over human rights violations). Additionally, if each side respects national sovereignty and avoids actions which may be perceived as interference by other states but also promotes democracy through supporting regional organisations like ASEAN or the African Union, it would reduce risks of conflicts arising from diverging values or interests (e.g. see how Russia has been expanding its influence within Eurasian Economic Union after joining last year).

Response: Increasing multilateral cooperation between the United States and European Union countries, particularly in addressing global issues such as climate change, trade negotiations, and promoting democracy while respecting national sovereignty, can have a significant impact on reducing mistrust and improving global stability.
The potential benefits of increased multilateral cooperation include:
1. Shared economic growth through joint initiatives such as climate change mitigation efforts, trade agreements, and infrastructure projects. This collaboration could lead to the creation of new jobs, increased investment, and a stronger global economy.
2. Greater political stability by addressing common security concerns like terrorism, cyber threats, and regional conflicts through cooperative measures such as intelligence sharing and military exercises. The US and EU can jointly contribute to peacekeeping efforts in conflict-affected regions and build a more secure world for all countries involved.
3. Enhanced global governance by working together to promote democratic values, human rights, and good governance practices among participating nations. This will foster mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation between states with diverse political systems and ideologies.
4. Strengthened diplomacy through collective engagement in international forums like the United Nations (UN), G7, BRICS or ASEAN plus 1 which can help tackle global challenges more effectively than individual countries working independently. Increased multilateralism will also create a unified voice on major issues affecting humanity and enable countries to act in solidarity against threats like climate change and pandemics.
5. Improved relations between the US, EU, and other global players including China, Russia, and emerging economies can help prevent rivalries from turning into full-fledged conflicts or trade wars. It will encourage nations to find common ground on various issues while addressing areas of disagreements through diplomatic means.
6. Reduction in geopolitical tensions by strengthening partnerships and fostering trust among countries, particularly between the US, EU, and China as well as other influential players like India and Brazil who are also crucial actors on the global stage. This would ultimately lead to more predictable international relations and better cooperation amongst states in handling crises effectively.
7. Stronger adherence to international norms such as compliance with International Humanitarian Law, human rights standards and democratic values which can contribute towards a more just world order where nations work together for the greater good rather than pursuing narrow self-interests that may undermine peace and stability at regional or global levels.
8. Encouragement of innovation and technological advancements through collaborative research, development, and sharing of scientific knowledge among participating countries. This could potentially lead to breakthroughs in areas such as renewable energy, climate change mitigation, medical discoveries, etc., which benefit all humanity.
9. Enhancement of multilateralism can also serve as a model for conflict resolution and peacebuilding in other regions around the world, by demonstrating how countries with different ideologies, histories, cultures, or economic interests can find common ground on issues that affect people globally. This can ultimately contribute towards long-term stability, sustainable development goals, and poverty reduction efforts for those nations which need support most in these areas.
10. Finally, increased multilateral cooperation will help shape a more interconnected and integrated global community where the interests of various countries are balanced fairly, thus providing an opportunity to address many long-standing challenges faced by humanity collectively. The world needs strong partnerships like the US-EU alliance as it seeks to tackle pressing issues such as climate change, nuclear proliferation, and international peacekeeping operations while fostering economic prosperity and democratic governance for all nations involved.
