The West Restored? Prospects for US-European Cooperation under Biden

The FRS organize a webinar entitled "The West Restored? Prospects for US-European Cooperation under Biden", a conversation with Bart Szewczyk and David McKean to launch their book Partners of First Resort - America, Europe and the Future of the West (Brookings Institution, 2020), which will be held online on Wednesday, December 9 from 4 pm to 5 pm (CET).

In their new book, the authors outline a “transatlantic renaissance” and reflect on how US and European leaders can work together to craft a new Atlantic Charter that would restore the liberal objectives that animated the Western alliance for more than seven decades and reinvent the transatlantic partnership for the challenges of our time.

During the Obama-Biden administration, David McKean served as Director of Policy Planning at the US Department of State and as US Ambassador to Luxembourg. Bart Szewczyk served on the Policy Planning Staff at the US Department of State and as senior policy advisor to the US Ambassador to the United Nations. Both have also served as policy volunteers on the Biden for President campaign.
