The Atlantic community : the Titanic of the XXI century?

Abstract

The dramatic title of volume six is an innovation in the well established intellectual tradition of REUPUS. In the interpretation of the great drama of the Atlantic Community facing the challenges of the XXI century we find an inspiration in the subtitle of the brilliant book of Timothy Garton Ash “America, Europe and the surprising future of the West.” T. G. Ash is outlining an optimistic interpretation of the future of the Atlantic Community. This interpretation is tested by the rich and comprehensive content of the volume “The Atlantic Community the Titanic of the XXI century?” Let us call our special attention to the question mark in the title of the volume. We hope that volume six will be seen as an consecutive contribution to the debates related to the future of the Atlantic Community and the global future in toto.
