Quotes
"In this pathbreaking book, Peterson employs the empirical record of US-European relations since 1989 to assess four major theories of international relations, thus linking detailed historical understanding, general social scientific theory, and prudent policy prescription. This comprehensive tour d'horizon is a splendid point of departure for understanding this critical yet puzzling transition in modern international relations." - Andrew Moravcsik, Harvard University "John Peterson's book contains a well-informed, original and eloquent analysis of EC-US relations. Europe and America is a 'must' for those readers who want to look ahead and go beyond the traditional presentation of transatlantic relations." - Youri Devuyst, Free University Brussels "A valuable book, as it provides a concise and lucid account of the evolution of the EC-US relationship in the context of an uncertain post-Cold War world." - Totis Kotsonis, Millennium "Logical and well balanced in construction. Comprehensive and meticulous in its cross-referencing and handling of sources, timely and thought-provoking in its discussion." - Sir Leslie Fielding, Journal of Common Market Studies "John Peterson has produced a well-argued assessment of the problem. It should stimulate students to think critically about the issues, and provoke all of us ... to think further about the wider implications of a much discussed subject." - Roger Morgan, International Affairs "Peterson is especially strong on the impact of domestic politics, and particularly on US politics in historical perspective; he produces telling evaluations of the impact of post-Cold War changes in both Europe and the USA." - Michael Smith, West European Politics "Currently the best undergraduate text on this subject'' - Nigel Ashford, Journal of Common Market Studies
