Europe, the United States, and the Middle East: New Avenues for Cooperation?

As the United States and Europe embark on a new chapter in transatlantic relations, will our priorities in the Middle East coincide, clash, or complement each other?

In honor of the recent publication of Bound to Cooperate-Europe and the Middle East II, the U.S. Institute of Peace, in conjunction with the Carnegie Endowment and the Bertelsmann Foundation, invites you to a discussion with senior European diplomats. They will lay out an agenda for cooperation and offer observations on how evolving U.S. policy in the region is likely to be received in Europe.
