Divided Atlantic: The Future of Transatlantic Relations
Over the past decade, cultural polarisation has emerged as the fundamental fault line in American politics. With the rise of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, American culture wars are now affecting the transatlantic relationship and even domestic politics in the European Union (EU). The U.S. cultural divides highlight similar issues in Europe, such as supranational authority, migration, economic sovereignty, and the role of cultural values in society. This panel will explore how American culture wars are spilling over into the transatlantic relationship and impacting intra-European politics.
As President Trump reconfigures the transatlantic relationship, how would America’s domestic cultural narratives affect the ties between the EU and the U.S.?
Given similar cultural divides in Europe, will the Trump presidency and the ascent of the MAGA movement also reconfigure domestic alliances within the EU along the lines of pro- and anti-Trump blocs?
Trump’s close aides regularly comment on domestic European politics. Can such interventions further damage already strained transatlantic ties?
