What is the interplay between EU enlargement and a fluctuating transatlantic security partnership? Will the accession of new EU members reinforce this partnership, or instead increase the EU's assertiveness as an independent foreign policy actor?

The authors of EU Enlargement and the Transatlantic Alliance find answers in an examination of broader EU security strategies, the foreign and security policies of the newer and potential EU members, and changing US priorities. Their perceptive analysis offers a sharp lens through which to understand the current and future state of transatlantic security.

Sven Biscop is senior research fellow at Egmont—The Royal Institute for International Relations in Brussels and professor of European security at the College of Europe in Bruges. He is editor-in-chief of the journal Studia Diplomatica. Johan Lembke is an educator based in Sweden.
