Summary

"This book examines the "problem" countries of Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Nigeria. In each case, leading American and European experts offer separate chapters explaining sources of U.S. and European differences, consequences for policies designed to influence problem states, and prospects for bridging transatlantic policy rifts. A conclusion by Richard N. Haass places these differences in perspective and suggests what Europe and the United States need to do to ameliorate this tension - and what could transpire if they do not."--Jacket.
