Shoulder to Shoulder
Daniel S. Hamilton
Transatlantic relations are undergoing a fundamental period of transformation and redefinition. The United States and Europe find themselves in a G-20 world: Can they reconcile European integration with a reorientation of transatlantic relations to forge a more effective strategic partnership that addresses global challenges?The Center for Transatlantic Relations and a consortium of American and European think tank experts, high-level practitioners, and scholars examine U.S. and EU approaches to a wide range of topics, from economic and financial governance, justice affairs, and human rights to bilateral security cooperation, energy and climate change, and issues of transatlantic homeland security and resilience. 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).

Short of the Goal
Nancy Birdsall
Failed states are at greatest risk for collapse and pose an urgent threat to international security. Yet, ironically, new U.S. foreign assistance programs such as the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) routinely bypass these poorly performing countries, while providing increased aid to so-called good performers. This volume provides a lucid account of failed states that are ineligible for this new assistance, thus residing "on the other side of the MCA." The first part analyzes U.S. policy toward the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Indonesia, Yemen, Myanmar, and Central America in order to examine the fundamental causes of poor performance. The second part examines the role of specific U.S. policy instruments in building state capacity to prevent deterioration and collapse. Uncovering one of the most recognizable, yet poorly understood, trends in the developing world, Short of the Goal sets an important agenda for increased American engagement with failed states to promote both development and security in the developing world.

Rescuing the World Bank
Nancy Birdsall
The World Bank is assailed by critics on the left, right and center on the grounds it is not effective, not accountable, not democratic or legitimate, and most threatening of all, not relevant in a global economy where private capital, production, and ideas dominate. Yet the world needs a strong World Bank working with other international institutions to manage development and the related global challenges of the 21st century. Are the Bank's shortcomings exaggerated or potentially fatal? If potentially fatal, can this critical institution be rescued? Rescuing the World Bank explores the answers to these questions. The first part of the book, The Hardest Job in the World: Five Crucial Tasks for the New President of the World Bank, is a report by a Center for Global Development (CGD) Working Group delivered to Paul Wolfowitz on his first day in the office in June 2005. The second part comprises selected essays, many first presented at a CGD Symposium in the fall of 2005. The Working Group members and essay authors represent a rich array of experience and views. CGD president Nancy Birdsall was co-chair of the Working Group and selected and edited the essays. Her view that the Bank is a crucial global institution but potentially at risk is widely—but not universally—shared by the Working Group members and the essay authors. The provocative volume will be widely read and discussed by those who are actively grappling with how to strengthen the World Bank, by its many stakeholders, and by readers with a broad interest in development seeking a better understanding of this vital and complex institution as it struggles to adapt to the demands of the 21st century.

Daniel S. Hamilton
Developing common or complementary approaches to what Europeans call societal security and what Americans call homeland security is a major priority for the transatlantic community in 21st century.
