| Publisher Description: L' re des r volutions atlantiques des derni res d cennies du XVIIIe si cle a ouvert la voie au d veloppement d'une relation fort particuli re entre l'Europe et les tats-Unis. Tour tour objet de curiosit , de fascination, terre d'immigration et lieu de combats sans merci, les tats-Unis frapp rent t t les observateurs attentifs par leur organisation institutionnelle, leurs gigantesques dimensions et, enfin, leur potentiel sans limites. D s l'intervention du pays dans la Premi re Guerre mondiale, les relations entre le vieux et le nouveau continent devinrent ambigu s et ne cesseront de l' tre, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale la guerre froide. L'existence de ces tensions entre une Europe en qu te d'unit et des tats-Unis consid r s comme le gendarme du monde se fait encore ressentir de nos jours. Ce n'est pas tant l'analyse de ces tensions qu'est consacr ce volume qu' leur mise en perspective, afin de contribuer mieux comprendre l'impact de ce qui est tant t collaboration, tant t comp tition, voire m sentente, dans un contexte mondial o il n'est pas sans int r t d'observer l'attitude d'autres partenaires. The era of Atlantic revolutions spanning the last decades of the 18th century opened the way towards the development of close ties between Europe and the USA. By turns object of curiosity, fascination, land of immigration and scene of merciless combats, the United States early impressed careful observers with their institutional organization, their massive size and their unlimited potential. From the intervention in the World War I, the relationship between the old and the new continent became ambivalent. So it continued following America's intervention in World War II, and in the Cold War. Today, the existence of major tensions between a Europe in search of unity and the United States considered as the policeman of the world remains visible. This volume is not meant to analyze these tensions but more to put them into perspective with a view to fostering a better understanding of the impact of the continual shift between cooperation, competition and even misunderstanding in a world where it is clearly important to keep an eye on your partner's attitudes. |
