Geoeconomic warfare highlights the importance of economic strategies in international relations, contrasting the U.S. tendency to resort to military action. Authors Robert Blackwill and Jennifer Harris argue that without a shift in policy, the costs in terms of lives and resources will escalate. They advocate for a redefined approach to American statecraft that prioritizes economic tools over military force to effectively navigate geopolitical challenges.
Many Transatlantic security concerns in the coming decades will originate not in Europe, but in the Greater Middle East, which encompasses the area from the Maghreb to the Caspian basin. This volume juxtaposes essays from U.S. and European scholars on selected areas and issues: the Arab-Israeli peace process, the Persian Gulf, Turkey and the Caspian Basin, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and military force projection. Each author considers American and European strategies toward a particular issue and makes suggestions for future policy collaboration between the countries on both sides of the Atlantic.
