The Atlantic Divide

 For the foreseeable future, European and American leaders and diplomats will need to find new motivation and a good dose of courage to forge a new relationship. As in the Cold War, Russian policies and those of  its present-day satellites like Belarus, will be an incentive to cooperation on security matters through NATO and other institutions of collective security. In this age of networks, moreover, academics, professionals, humanitarian and human rights organizations will also need to  construct a fabric of transatlantic collaboration in ways that can sustain and enhance existing ties.
