How Germany and the United States Can Strengthen Cooperation

“Federal governments should no longer be viewed as the sole source for action and solutions both because of the current administration in the US and a continued power shift towards NGOs and local actors.  Engagement at the subnational level is ever more critical.” This is one of the key conclusions from the first “Atlantic Expedition”, […]

1. Introduction: A New Narrative for the 21st Century

While the Marshall Plan remains a touchstone for German-American relations, the value of the transatlantic relationship is no longer as obvious or unassailable as it once was. A new narrative for the transatlantic relationship is needed to address transnational challenges such as the growing importance of emerging economies, an increasingly multipolar world order, and the […]

Free trade has done much to advance the cause of human flourishing and improve the lives of people around the globe. The historical cooperation between Europe and North America in advancing free trade, economic opportunity, and open markets not only serves to connect our nations, but has been a force for good across the globe.

3. Bridging the Atlantic: Towards a New Education Agenda

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), on both sides of the Atlantic there is a 55% or higher chance that a 25 to 44-year-old whose parents passed tertiary education will achieve the same level of education, while less than 10% of children from low-educated families with a migration background reach that […]

4. Toward a Decentralized Framework for Climate Engagement

Following the Paris Agreement, climate commitments must be backed by concrete action.  Meeting the obligations under the Agreement will require effective and innovative policy solutions and transformation in the energy sector and beyond. The US and Germany, as climate leaders and policy pioneers, are at the forefront of these efforts and should expand cooperation beyond […]

5. Transatlantic Security: Improving Burden-Sharing

Despite the current trends toward nationalism and retrenchment in both the US and Europe, policymakers should continue to give transatlantic security cooperation the utmost priority. The security challenges the Alliance faces can only be successfully confronted if the US and Europe continue and deepen their cooperation. While NATO has inefficiencies and shortcomings in specific policy […]

6. Sharing Standards on Development, Refugee, and Integration

The recent migration crisis has brought longstanding tensions in Europe’s immigration and integration policies to the forefront. This is compounded by a concern in Europe and the US that hosting refugees and migrants from fragile and conflict-afflicted states in the Middle East and North Africa increase domestic security risks and that such persons are not […]

7. Technology as the Driver for Transatlantic Collaboration

The US and EU face many similar challenges in the digital age which affect both the business sector and society as a whole. We see this moment as a chance to shift the focus of the transatlantic relationship toward greater collaboration and proactive problem-solving, which will also help to address domestic issues on each side […]

About

Atlantic Expedition is a fellowship program aiming to empower a younger and more diverse generation of leaders in transatlantic relations.

The Atlantic Expedition is currently in its second round. After fellows of the first Expedition developed policy recommendations and created the Atlantic Memo “Transatlantic Relations in a New Era: The Next Generation Approach”, participants of the second Expedition joined forces to develop new strategies for communicating transatlantic relations to a diverse audience and consequently making the transatlantic relationship a more inclusive endeavor.

From 9-14 October, fellows of the second Atlantic Expedition traveled to Chicago and Houston to present and discuss their ideas and proposals with representatives from politics, media, business and civil society. They published their recommendations in a second Atlantic Memo titeled “Atlantic Expedition II: Towards a More Inclusive Transatlantic Partnership” .

To stay up-to date, virtually join the expedition and to add your voice to the discussion, please find us on facebook and twitter.
