Ethnic Scapegoats as Shields of Defense for Transatlantic Security

International cooperation has been central to international peace. NATO provides frameworks for security and trade agreements all over the world. Today, nationalism has also contributed to hazing our ability to accurately attribute contributors to domestic terrorism within transatlantic nations. This paper provides recommendations on two levels: changing the narrative to one that stresses to the […]

Sharing Standards and Values in Development, Refugee, and Integration Policy

The recent migrant 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 United States 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 […]

This is compounded by a concern in Europe and the United States that hosting refugees and migrants from fragile and conflict-affected states in the Middle East and North Africa region may increase risks of homegrown terror attacks.

Integration: A Slow and Fractured Process

Ethnic, national, and socioeconomic integration at the societal-level […]

The Fall of Compassion and the Rise of Right-Wing Leaders

As I walked the streets of Warsaw in June 2016, I noticed I looked very different than everyone else walking down the street. I have brown skin and I look ethnically ambiguous to many who do not recognize the physical attributes of an ethnically Guatemalan person. People gawked, but I never encountered any racism or […]

We All Deserve a Seat in the Discussion

As a member of the African-American community, it is difficult for me to see where my place in Transatlantic Relations, fits in. For centuries my ancestors traveled on slave ships from the Continental Africa to North America. They did not willingly or non-coercively travel, however by force and oppression.

Minority Rights Need to be Prioritized

Minority rights in transatlantic relations need to be redefined, reinvented, protected and prioritized in order to strengthen and diversify the state of the relations.

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.
