They offer a number of specific proposals for a more effective transatlantic partnership in a global age.Contributors include Heather Conley (CSIS), Michael Emerson (CEPS), Daniel Gros (CEPS), Paul Isbell (Real Instituto Elcano), Daniel Korski (European Council on Foreign Relations), Thomas Melia (Freedom House), Vicente Palacio (Fundacion Alternativas), Charles Ries (RAND), Daniel Serwer (U.S. Institute of Peace), Bengt Sundelius (Uppsala University), and Marcin Zaborowski (European Institute for Security Studies).
