Conflict and Cooperation in Transatlantic Relations

Daniel S. Hamilton

In the wake of the transatlantic crisis over Iraq, are Americans and Europeans ready to forge a future together? Can the grand project of European integration be reconciled with a strategic reorientation of the transatlantic relationship to a global agenda? Or are Europeans and Americans destined to drift apart? The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation asked prominent authors from both sides of the Atlantic to look beyond tensions over Iraq to deeper trends affecting the relationship. This collection of their views provides a balanced and thoughtful look at the challenges ahead in transatlantic relations. Contributors include Samuel Brittan (Financial Times), Chester A. Crocker (Georgetown University), Konstanty Gebert (Gazeta Wyborcza and Midrasz), Guillermo de la Dehesa (CEPR), Philip H. Gordon (Brookings Institution), Eduardo Marçal Grilo (Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation), Daniel S.

Randall Henning (American University), Paul Kennedy (Yale University), Fyodor Lukyanov (Russia in Global Affairs), Alain Minc (AM Conseil), Raúl Morodo (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Jorge Sampaio (president of Portugal), Emílio Rui (Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation).

Religion and Religiosity in the Philippines and Indonesia

Theodore Friend

This comparative exploration looks at religion and politics in the social dynamics of Southeast Asia's two most populous nations. The Philippines and Indonesia are treated as one vast "Phil-Indo" archipelago. Eight leading scholars contribute interwoven and contending essays. The authors find that while neither country promotes a state religion, both lack partitions between church and state. Social dynamics of faith in each elude constitutional restrictions. In the Philippines, a Spanish tradition of an ecclesiastical state exists in tension with a Jeffersonian notion of separation of realms. In Indonesia, pre-Islamic concepts of a god-king fuse state and society, as modern initiatives surge from the premise of a prevailing Islamic community. Official religiosity pervades Indonesian national life, while Filipinos act out their private religiosity en masse, trying to overcome deficiencies in state and church. The book includes 38 photographs, in color and black and white, with commentaries that further illustrate the themes of each chapter. Contributors include Azyumardi Azra (University Islam Negeri, Indonesia), Jose M. Cruz (Ateneo de Manila University,The Philippines), Donald K. Emmerson (Institute for International Studies, Stanford University) Theodore Friend (Foreign Policy Research Institute), Robert W. Hefner (Institute for the Study of Economic Culture, Boston University),Vicente Leuterio Rafael (University of Washington), Jose Eliseao Rocamora (Institute for Popular Democracy,The Philippines) and David Joel Steinberg (Long Island University).

Globalization & Europe

Daniel S. Hamilton

What does globalization mean for Europe? What are the gains and what are the pains? Who's winning and who's losing? In this volume, Dan Hamilton and Joe Quinlan continue their award-winning series on international economic issues with an up-to-date look at globalization's impact on Europe. They chart changing flows of trade, investment, people, money, and ideas, and they explain globalization's effect on European consumers, workers, companies, and governments. Globalization and Europe highlights opportunities, identifies challenges—and offers some surprising conclusions.
