. Transatlantic 2020: Building New Partners or Building New Blocs?

29 March 2001 - EU Center of the University System of Georgia, Atlanta, USA

A conference organised by the EU Center of the University System of Georgia, Atlanta
With the collaboration of Europe 2020 and Prometheus-Europe.
In partnership with TIES.

This conference seeks to develop an understanding about the future direction of transatlantic relations in an effort to anticipate problems and formulate solutions.
Based on a transatlantic partnership between the EU Center of Georgia and Europe 2020, speakers and participants will gather in Atlanta from both sides of the Atlantic to achieve a three-part objective :
- to initiate a common reflexion on the future of Transatlantic relations based on the Anticipation Method ©
- to enable the setting up of a common reflexion framework between Europe and North America
- to increase collaboration between civil societies on both sides of the Antlantic.
The practical objective of the conference is to prepare a set of conclusions to be forwarded to policy-makers on both sides of the Atlantic outlining the path to healthy cooperation in future transatlantic relations.

The conference plans to tackle the following questions :
1- "Will a Common Transatlantic Economic and Civic Area Develop?"
2- "From Globalization to Global Organization: Is there an EU-US Convergence?"
3- "World Security in 2020: Will NATO Have a Role?"
4- "Cultural Values in America and Europe: Are the Long-term Trends Different?"
