>. Thematics: Historically, the process of European unification has been
supported and furthered in large measures by the USA since the 1950s and
Germany, in particular, has been a beneficiary in this process. The
US-American support of European unification and its process allowed for and
often aided the transformation of long-established historical reservations
into new and working partnerships between cultures and countries within
Europe and between Europe and the USA. About Iraq, the USA on the one hand
and France and Germany on the other hand demonstrated differences in opinion
and action. The question presents itself as to whether and in what measure
Europe would need US-American support and involvement in its process of
unification, including such within the context of international and global
affairs. Papers selected represent multi- and inter-disciplinary analysis
and discussion of transatlantic cooperation and partnership between
countries and cultures of the European Union and the USA in order to respond
to issues of current import constructively. The length of a paper is 5000
words, in the MLA: Modern Language Association of America format with
parenthetical sources and a works cited (but no footnotes or end notes): for
