Edited by Gerald Frost, American Enterprise Institute Press, September 1998

At the Congress of Phoenix held in May 1997, the New Atlantic Initiative (NAI) brought together world leaders, academics, journalists, and government officials from the United States and Europe to explore subjects vital to the future security and prosperity of democratic nations on both sides of the Atlantic.

This volume presents commentary by Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of the United Kingdom; Jon L. Kyl, Republican senator from Arizona; and Paul Wolfowitz, dean of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Highlights from the discussions of NATO expansion, European political integration, missile proliferation and strategic defense, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the Baltic States are also included.
