C. Conference "Transatlantic Leadership facing next decades' challenges" (April 29th, 2004)

The recent Iraq crisis has shown that Transatlantic leadership as we knew it since WWII is dead. Evolutions of America and Europe have progressively made obsolete visions, instruments and hypotheses upon which relations between Europeans and Americans were based since 1945. Already in November 2002, with the first Miami Week, TIESWEB tried to draw attention on this rapidly decaying framework.
2003 will have shown two things very relevant to Miami 1 conclusions:

  1. Americans and Europeans cannot afford to loose each other if they want to significantly shape tomorrow's world
  2. Without new visions and instruments, EU and US are set on a colliding course in almost every field (diplomacy, research, business, global issues, …. ).

In order to contribute to renewing the transatlantic framework, TIESWEB estimates that three key conditions have to be met:

A.
Initiating a thorough investigation in current trends affecting US and EU societies in order to assess diverging and converging factors - Looking deep in our souls, even if it has to be politically incorrect
B.
Thinking comprehensively EU/US relations as part of the larger global context. - Europe and America as core tandem of global governance
C.
Stimulating the emerging of a new breed of Transatlantic leaders (at the top of both societies of course, but also at more intermediate levels in universities, companies, medias, NGOs, …). - Better trained transatlantic leaders … and more of them.
