About Us

scene from a meeting

Since the end of the Second World War the United States has been the Wests foremost economic, military and cultural power whose influence extends throughout the world. Despite its dominance, the United States still needs to engage with other nations in order to address global problems such as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, international terrorism, disease and environmental degradation.

The transatlantic partnership between the United States and Europe represents a critical part of this engagement process. However, since the end of the cold war differing concepts on how to deal with an increasing number of key political, economic and strategic issues has placed an increasing strain on this important relationship.

Taking this into account, a small team of dedicated individuals from the business, academic and media fields who work extensively in the United States and Europe came together in 2004 to establish American European Institute.

The American European Institute seeks to provide an independent forum for discussion research and analysis, promote closer links between political, academic and economic institutions and focus on the importance of the strategic alliance and trading relationship between the United States and Europe. The organisation is a web based forum which is primarily supported by resources and expertise provided on a voluntary basis by its founding members.
