This volume covers reinforcement of the European pillar of the Alliance; adjustment of the balance of responsibilities between the two sides of the Atlantic; and shoring up the transatlantic partnership and perhaps broadening it into that elusive concept, a ""transatlantic community"", stretching into economic and other fields. The contributors address the perceived security vacuum in parts of Central and Eastern Europe, and discuss measures to build up greater confidence between former Cold War antagonists and ways of developing in them the habits of co-operation rather than counter-operation.
