We bring new perspectives in an ever-changing global business environment

The importance of US-European security cooperation was highlighted after the 9/11 attacks, as European security became crucial for American non-military security. The US sought help from Europe in countering terrorism and organized crime, even introducing new powers to the EU. However, the US initially had low interest in European cooperation in military security, preferring to lead in NATO or informal coalitions. The US also discouraged the development of an EU security and defense policy, fearing it would impede bilateral negotiations. Over time, the US realized the need for Europe and supported European capabilities in handling regional issues.
