The TRANSWORLD's final conference will tackle how to rethink transatlantic relations in the multipolar era characterised by emerging powers and growing interconnectedness – a situation in which transatlantic relations appear to have lost their bearings. Predictions that the decades-old alliance between America and Europe would fade away after the Cold War have not materialised, yet the West seems less cohesive than in the past. Is the transatlantic relationship experiencing a slow but inexorable structural drift? Or is the enduring partnership still in the process of adjusting to a changed world? The conference will also address the challenges to transatlantic cooperation in shaping global governance. As the international system fragments into different constellations of power, the West can no longer claim exclusive leadership in global governance. How can the U.S. and Europe continue to shape governance mechanisms? Should they close ranks in a transatlantic fortress, seek alternative partnerships and alliances, or jointly try to co-opt other powers in the management of global challenges? His Excellency David O’Sullivan, Ambassador of the Delegation of the European Union to the United States, The Honourable Gregory Meeks(D-NY), Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats, United States House of Representatives and The Honourable Marc Grossman, Vice Chairman, the Cohen Group will, among others, participate in the conference.
