It is a deficit in understanding the vital stake Americans and Europeans have developed in the health of their economic relationship. Globalization is happening faster and reaching deeper between Europe and America than between any other two continents. The transatlantic economy generates roughly $3.5 trillion in total commercial sales a year and employs over 12 million workers in mutually insourced jobs. This book maps the increasingly dense web of investment, trade, and jobs that connects Europes regions to Americas states. It traces the impact of NAFTA and EU enlargement on transatlantic economic flows. It tracks intercontinental connectivity in the new knowledge economy, and it sets forth areas in which Europe and America continue to be global pathfinders. In the context of todays debates about globalization and transatlantic drift, this book offers some unanticipated and counterintuitive connections that have important policy implications. |
