An Energetic Transatlantic Environment

Doi: https://doi.org/10.58603/TRRF6402

Abstract: This paper aims at investigating the evolution of the transatlantic cooperation in the post-Cold War period, focusing on the energy and environment sectors, mainly from a European perspective. To this end, both qualitative and quantitative methodology instruments have been resorted to: secondary data analysis, discourse analysis, interpretation of statistical data. Comparing and contrasting between the EU and the US perspectives, as well as between the three European Commissions� approaches (Barroso, Juncker and von der Leyen), we have determined the EU�s growing ambition to consolidate its specific policies, its interdependences and divergences with the US on matters of common concern.
