Preface
The relationship between East-West trade and the Atlantic Alliance
has generated lively debate among scholars and policy-makers on
both sides of the Atlantic for four decades. These debates, however,
are often rather parochial, with Europeans talking to Europeans,
Americans to Americans, economists to economists, and so on.
This book attempts to mitigate such parochialism by bringing
together scholars from five countries and three academic
disciplines-economics, political science, and law. The relationship
between "East" and "West" has many dimensions, not all of which
are dealt with here. Whatever changes in East-West relations the
future holds, questions about trade are likely to figure prominently.
The authors hope that this book will help both scholars and policy
makers to think about these problems.
Working papers were presented and discussed at two conferences,
one at Columbia University's Arden House and the other at Fonda
tion Royaumont in France. The authors benefitted from the helpful
comments of Lisa Martin, Kamal Shehadi, and Kathleen McNamara
at these meetings.
The research was supported by a grant from the International
Affairs Program of the Ford Foundation. The project grows out of
the Columbia University Program on the Political Economy of
National Security, which is supported by a grant from the Pew
Charitable Trusts Program for Integrating Economics and National
Security.
The staff of the Institute of War and Peace Studies, under the
direction of Jean Leong, provided secretarial, clerical, and moral
support for the whole project.
