This book investigates to what extent these claims are valid, and what consequences they may have for European and international security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe U.S. NATO Debate\u003c\/i\u003e by Magnus Petersson could not come at a better time. How America's relationship with Europe evolves is an essential element of its efforts to realign its global position to make it durable for this still young 21st century. Magnus Petersson has written a lucid detailing of the range of debate in the United States over NATO that is a must read for scholars, students, and practitioners alike.” —\u003ci\u003eSean Kay, Professor, Department of Politics and Government, Ohio Wesleyan University, USA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In this important book, Magnus Petersson examines whether the reemergence of Europe as a primary security concern for the United States represents a return to the normal state of affairs, or whether it is more transitory, destined to fade away after the crisis in eastern Ukraine abates.This is a vitally important question for the transatlantic community, with significant practical implications for Europe's foreign, defense, and fiscal policies. Petersson brings a particularly clear-eyed perspective to bear, adeptly assessing the political, policy, and scholarly levels of debate, and providing a thorough examination and critique of the discussion within the United States on the purpose, relevance, and importance of NATO.” —\u003ci\u003eJohn R.
