Developments in Transatlantic Armaments Cooperation

Abstract

Throughout the 12 European Community nations, Western Europeans are stepping out a little smarter and holding their heads just a little higher these days. The Europe 1992 program, with its remarkable potential for uniting the EC nations toward a common goal, has sparked a sense of hope and pride that has been missing from the European psyche since economic "Eurosclerosis" set in during the '70s. Now, Eurosclerosis has been tossed aside by improving economies, and a new password has emerged. "To speak of Europhoria is right," says Italian Foreign Minister Geanni de Michelis. "There is a change of perception, not just among governments but among the people." Bitten by this Europhoria bug, Europe's leaders are pointing with pride to their larger, more competitive corporations, their newly emerging technologies, and their soon-to-be-united markets, and they are declaring that Japan and the United States must begin dealing with them as equals in the world market place.
