Convergence and implementation formulas under the auspices of the transatlantic dialogue. Cooperation in crisis management

Summary/Abstract: The relationship between the European Union and the United States is unique feature of international context built in the last decades based on shared history, shared values and shared interests. The transatlantic partnership was born of a promise of collective peace, progress and prosperity in the context of US support for Europe recovery after Second World War. In this sense, the Marshall Plan helped rebuild Europe’s communities and economies while North Atlantic Treaty Organisation ensured collective security. Even from the initial stages, Transatlantic cooperation encompassed a comprehensive approach of the relationship, ranging from economic aspects towards foreign policy convergence and mutual commitment to global security. In this vein, Transatlantic Partnership developed steadily, while upgrading constantly in accordance with evolutions in the international environment. In this context, crisis management aspects were constantly approached in dialogue conducted in the framework of EU-US cooperation. There are certain achievements both in terms of US and Canada concrete participation in EU crisis management operations as well as in developing coordination mechanisms for combating current security challenges. This trend has the potential to be further consolidated by initiating a dedicated defence and security dialogue between both sides of the Atlantic.
