For more than six decades, the transatlantic alliance has provided security and prosperity to the people of Europe and the United States. The United States and European Union’s shared commitment to the most fundamental freedoms of mankind have contributed to the advancement of human rights, diplomacy, science, technology, and ultimately world peace and stability. The rule of law, democracy, human rights, and the free market economy are amongst the major principles that have solidified and established the powerful role that the West plays in the international community. Today, however, the transatlantic alliance suffers from a sense of confusion and sometimes feels as though it stands on the brink of catastrophe. The EU’s ability to navigate issues of ongoing proliferation of conflict, unprecedented challenges from other political actors, and uncertainty across all corners of the world test the Union’s character and strength. Will it respond with the necessary determination and tenacity? The power of resilience in the twenty-first century foreign policy environment will enable the European Union to move its interests, position, and values forward. The transition to a multipolar world presents a threat to the liberal world order, but it also provides an opportunity for the EU to take leadership and responsibility to invest its money and time in the Union, and most importantly, for the European people.
