Copenhagen Conference
The economic, political and military powers of the transatlantic region play a crucial role in the global economy and international security. While globalization brings other regions to the fore, transatlantic relations continue to be of significance to both the Americas and Europe. However, all sides of the Atlantic are experiencing changes in political and economic spheres as well as in constructions of identity and community calling for a new thinking of transatlantic relations.
