The volume explores the possibility of promoting greater links between the European Union and North America. It offers assessments of potentials for the formation of new alliances that would strengthen Atlantic economic ties.The Struggle for World Markets will be invaluable to policymakers and scholars with an interest in international business, international political economy, commerce and political science.
