Description
With new worldwide threats, post-Iraq war tensions, and the United Nations under siege, democracies should take the lead in forming a new coalition united behind a common global security agenda--as hinted by the High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change (HLP) in its December 2004 report. (1) The vital question after President George W. Bush's reelection is whether there will be more of the same from Washington, or whether unilateralism will make room for collective responses to the challenges of the twenty-first century. The relationship between the United States and the European Union (EU) will be decisive in any global arrangement. Iraq, weapons of mass destruction (WMD), terrorism, and world poverty loom large, and ongoing trans-Atlantic differences will not go away. Washington's policies have raised hackles in Europe over, inter alia, the Kyoto protocol on climate change; the landmine treaty; the approach to child-soldiers; the HIV/AIDS epidemic; the death penalty; biological weapons; global efforts to curb illicit sales of small arms and light weapons; the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty; the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty; America's miserly percentage of overseas development assistance (ODA); and the International Criminal Court (ICC). As if these were not enough, U.S. attitudes toward the nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea, steel exports, farm and airline subsidies, alleged tax evasion, new definitions of torture and "enemy combatants," and the new national security doctrine of preemptive strikes have also raised alarm.
