After the Second World war, the USA showed big interest in the European military and political affairs. Strong anti-communist and anti-Soviet campaign had started in the USA and in Western Europe, which resulted in the creation of the NATO, in April 1949. Nowadays, the relations between the USA and islamic world as well as the fight against global terrorism represent crucial foreign affairs concerns of the USA. The USA tries to involve its European allies into those issues as much as possible. The USA has been stimulating the European integration since the end of the Second World war and the beginning of the Cold war. The European integration is not an obstacle to the USA as long as it does not endanger the American economic and military position of a superpower. An overall concept of transatlantic relations does not exist. Both EU and USA are facing great challenges and changes on both sides of the Ocean. After the fall of the Iron curtain, the USA and the EU are strongly oriented towards each other, especially regarding the intense economic cooperation. It is interesting that the founding fathers of the European integration were inspired by the American federational model after the Second World war. The state of international relations was always rated by the quality of relations between the USA and the EU. Now they have many common tasks on the international scene, such as managing the peace process in the Middle East and completing the work in the Balkans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, u Europi više nije bilo ni jednog vojnog ili političkog pitanja koje ne bi bilo zanimljivo za Sjedinjene Države. Velika antikomunistička i antisovjetska kampanja započela je u SAD-u i u Zapadnoj Europi, što je na kraju, u travnju 1949., rezultiralo osnivanjem Sjevernoatlantskog saveza (NATO). Odnosi SAD-a s islamskim svijetom i borba protiv globalnog terorizma ključni su vanjskopolitički problemi SAD-a danas, u rješavanje kojih nastoje što više uplesti svoje europske saveznike. SAD je od samog završetka Drugog svjetskog rata i početka Hladnog rata poticao okupljanje u Zapadnoj Europi. Sjedinjenim Državama ne smetaju europske integracije sve dok se ne ugrožava američka pozicija gospodarske i vojne supersile. Ne postoji cjelovita koncepcija transatlantskih odnosa ili, drugim riječima, odnosi EU-a i SAD-a prepušteni su velikim izazovima i promjenama na obje strane Atlantika. Nakon pada "željezne zavjese", SAD i EU snažno su upućeni jedan na drugog, pogotovu u pogledu intenzivne gospodarske suradnje. Zanimljivo je da su se oci-utemeljitelji europskoga ujedinjavanja nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata inspirirali modelom američke federacije. Stanje u međunarodnoj politici uvijek se mjerilo kvalitetom odnosa SAD-a i Europe. Europska unija i SAD na međunarodnoj sceni imaju mnogo važnog zajedničkog posla, poput upravljanja mirovnim procesom na Srednjem istoku i završetka zajedničkog posla na Balkanu.
