The United States faces serious foreign policy challenges that can best be addressed working with like-minded partners. Climate change, economic globalization, terrorism, pandemics, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destructions are among those challenges where American strengths can be amplified if we enlist the cooperation of our allies.

We share interests and values with Europe, but four years of “America first” have led our European allies to question whether America is still a reliable ally. Following WWII, the U.S. built a strong network of multilateral alliances and encouraged European integration. There are indications Europe would like to see America back as a trusted partner.

This course will focus on reconstructing our relationship with our NATO partners and the European Union while acknowledging that there are new realities. The course will consist of a moderate amount of reading, lecture, and discussion.

Evangeline Monroe is a retired foreign service officer whose overseas postings were in Europe. Her assignments at the Department of State included addressing non-proliferation and counter narcotics while working with our European partners multilaterally. She was also a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council. She has led numerous ILEAD/Osher courses, including courses on the European Union and the Transatlantic Relationship.
