Fortresses & Icebergs, Volumes 1 and 2
Jeffrey P. Bialos
Commissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense, this book uses disciplined diagnostic methodologies to assess the openness and accessibility of European and U.S. defense markets. The authors also evaluate the evolving European institutions, laws, policies, practices, and arrangements that impact the defense industry. They also propose recommendations for the future.As the book discusses, a more open and competitive transatlantic defense market can potentially facilitate greater force interoperability and capability acquisition in an era where coalition warfare is the norm. A more competitive market would also encourage greater competition, and the affordability and innovation it brings, in a time of global defense industrial consolidation.

Leadership in Unconventional Crises
Erwan Lagadec
We have entered the age of the unconventional crisis. In 2009 the worldwide economic recession and the A(H1N1) pandemic became the latest in a daunting series of events—9/11, the anthrax crisis, the SARS outbreak, the 2003 heat wave in Europe, the 2004 tsunami, Hurricane Katrina—that required responses beyond the standard call for more assets, planning, technical knowledge, and media training.Standard responses to unconventional crises have yielded repeated failures of leadership and imagination. This book argues that to deal effectively with complex disasters, leaders and crisis managers must be educated to think on their feet in chaotic environments; to wage a war of movement against unconventional threats. We need strategic rethinking of the meaning of leadership and resilience, in addition to mapping out new allocations of roles and responsibilities across organizations, sectors, and countries.To tackle these issues, the Center for Transatlantic Relations launched the project "Unconventional Crises, Unconventional Responses: Reforming Leadership in the Age of Catastrophic Crises and Hypercomplexity." This book describes strategic concepts and organizational tools that have been successful in confronting catastrophic and hypercomplex events.

Europe 2020
Daniel S. Hamilton
Where does Europe fit in the emerging world of rapidly developing countries and deep interconnections between different poles of power? This study provides a global framework for understanding Europe's competitive position in this very different environment.Authors Daniel S. Hamilton and Joseph P. Quinlan map the flows of people, money, goods, services, and ideas that connect Europe to other key global powers. They compare Europe's relative strengths and weaknesses with other key competitors and partners. Finally, they recommend key actions that could be taken at EU and member-state level to improve the European Unions's competitiveness compared to other G20 powers and make the EU a more attractive place to invest and do business.

David Koranyi
The quest for sufficient energy resources will play an important strategic role in the rise and fall of nations as well as become a source of potential global disputes over the coming decades. Against this backdrop, Transatlantic Energy Futures analyzes how Europe and the United States will grapple with these looming energy questions:• What are the factors driving energy policy decisions in Washington, Brussels, European capitals, and U.S. states?• What will define their energy mixes in the future?• What are the similarities and differences, convergences and divergences in various energy sectors in Europe and America?• Are there synergies to tap in closer cooperation on energy issues? What should be done to facilitate transatlantic cooperation in the field of energy from a political and economic perspective?• Is a transatlantic energy alliance desirable? Is it even possible? What should be the goals, scope, shape, and influence of such an alliance?

Smart Power
Aude Jehan
Over the last decade, expensive and unpopular wars, recession, ballooning debt, and the rise of China and other regional powers have brought the limits of traditional power into focus. So far, Smart Power has been seen as the idea that an effective foreign policy must place principal reliance on a tailored synthesis of both hard and soft power and the precise mix depends on the circumstances.This timely volume underscores why "smart power" is still a clue for policymakers seeking to combine different tools within a coherent strategy. It also questions the practical and institutional challenges stand in the way of a true smart power approach. It underscores the need for the United States and Europe to pull all the levers of power and influence, including military, diplomatic, legal, cultural, energetic and technological. The authors introduce new approaches including the concept of spectral power, super-seeding the dichotomy of hard and soft power and urging the rethinking of the concept of smart power. The authors have held senior executive positions in the U.S. administration and governments in Europe.
