| Summary |
"Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has seemed to be growing apart from its democratic neighbors and allies. Why has this happened? The answers to this question are found in the social, political, and economic forces that shape advanced democratic states, rather than the current policies of particular governments. This book brings together a set of scholars who examine the evolution of different social, political, and economic forces shaping Europe and America. It is the first book to unite the international relations scholarship on transatlantic relations with the comparative politics literature on the varieties of capitalism. Taken together, the chapters in this book address whether the "West" will continue to remain a coherent entity in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET |
