Book Review

Is There Still a West? The Future of the Atlantic Alliance. Ed. by William Anthony Hay and Harvey Sicherman. (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 2007. x, 251 pp. $44.95, ISBN 978-0-82-621692-2.)

This book emerged from the 2004 "Is There Still a West?" conference hosted by the Foreign Policy Research Institute. Its theme was prompted by the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into Eastern Europe, the attacks of September 11, 2001, the disagreements in the United Nations that prompted Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's comment contrasting an "Old Europe" with a "New Europe," and the war in Iraq. As the editors note, the writers explore whether "there is still a recognizable grouping of states bound by interests and reinforced by culture and history" by exploring conflicts among western nations, cultural and economic issues, and security policies (p. 4). While the authors never definitively answer that question, they do raise interesting issues from varying perspectives.
