Book excerpt: Notable opportunities presently exist for the U.S.-European relationship to help mold the next century's international system. The prescriptions contained in this Independent Task Force Report, The Future of Transatlantic Relations, seek to intensify such a partnership. Some reinforce current administration policy, especially with respect to European security and political economy. Some policy suggestions go against administration policies, particularly outside Europe. The entire thrust of the report's ambitious prescriptions, however, requires more vigorous and active presidential and congressional leadership than has often been seen in recent years. The most important departure from present U.S. policy is the report's emphasis on drawing Europe over time much further into a global strategic partnership with the United States to help shape the new era. This Task Force, chaired by Robert D. Blackwill of the John F. Kennedy School of Government and an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, included a highly diverse and experienced group of American and European policymakers, diplomats, analysts, and business and opinion leaders.
