The future of transatlantic relations

Recent events in Libya, and the Middle-East more broadly, reflect a rapidly changing international geopolitical landscape. The transatlantic relationship seems set (in the short-term at least) to be imbued with a new vigor as the US and NATO search for a desirable conclusion to their police action in Libya and hammer out a workable exit strategy. Meanwhile, as events play out in other states across the region, Europe and America seem likely to be pushed towards greater levels of cooperation.
