Please join the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and German Council on Foreign Relations’ (DGAP) launch event for the release of the joint report entitled, “Stronger Together: A Strategy for Revitalizing Transatlantic Power,” with Daniela Schwarzer, Director of the German Council on Foreign Relations, Victoria Nuland, Senior Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, and Nicholas Burns, Goodman Family Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Relations at Harvard Kennedy School.

This publication is the culmination of a year-long project that convened a strategy group of experts and former government officials from the United States and Europe to discuss the crisis in the transatlantic relationship and propose a strategy to revive and strengthen it.  

The project’s report and eight individual action plans argue that after years of mistrust, recrimination and division, the bridge across the Atlantic should be “built back better.” But the U.S. and Europe cannot simply rebuild the ties of a previous era if we are to succeed in meeting today’s challenges. The transatlantic relationship must be rebuilt and reimagined. Our institutions must be strengthened. As the U.S. embraces its allies again, Europe too must rethink its approach to some fundamental issues. 

The task is urgent. The world needs a more powerful and purposeful transatlantic alliance to drive a new global agenda.

President Eisenhower hoped to see Europe as a “third great power block.”  New European defense initiatives represent a generational ambition for bold action. Can Europe effectively improve its defense investments and capabilities? And should the United States support a strong European security and defense policy?  Join the Project on Europe to discuss EU defense efforts and US policies with Fellow, Dr. Seth Johnston, and Research Director, Dr. Torrey Taussig, as outlined in Dr Johnston's recent Belfer Center policy brief, “A Europe that Protects? : U.S. Opportunities in European Defense.”
