Europe's Epidemic?
Start:  Tuesday, December 10, 2002  5:00 PM
End:  Tuesday, December 10, 2002  6:30 PM
Location:  Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI
1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036

The pundits agree: anti-Americanism in Europe is on the rise. After a strong alliance of almost half a century, recent developments show an increasing divide between Europe and the United States. Europeans disagree with Americans on issues as diverse as the role of the United Nations, the environment, tariffs, Iraq, and Israel. They also criticize American culture, the U.S. economy and the American "way of life." This anti-American sentiment is powerful--in September, it swayed Germany's electorate in favor of Gerhard Schröder. Do Americans deserve this vociferous criticism? Are the Europeans simply "jealous?" Should the "Yankees go home?" These topics and more will be discussed at the last debate in the New Atlantic Initiative's discussion series on anti-Semitism, anti-Europeanism, and anti-Americanism.
