The impact of Joe Biden’s rise to power on the US transatlantic foreign policy

Abstract

The transatlantic is associated with the historical, cultural, political, economic, and social ties between the United States and European countries on both sides of the Atlantic. Since the United States and the European Union are important and influential actors in the international system, recognizing the positions and actions of these two actors towards Regional and global developments are of particular importance. The analytical orientation of this paper is to examine the foreign policy of the Joe Biden’s government in relations with actors in the transatlantic field. So the main question of the research is what effect did Biden’s coming to power have on the foreign policy of the United States in the transatlantic region? In response to the above question, using the descriptive-analytical method and the theoretical framework of neoliberal institutionalism, it is hypothesized that the relations between the United States and the Atlantic region, despite fluctuations during Donald Trump’s presidency, will return to normal condition during Biden’s presidency. The findings of the study indicate that the United States and its European allies, despite some differences in the various terms of the presidency, have always sought to enhance cooperation on both sides of the Atlantic. As a result, despite the tangible connection or coordination that exists between the two sides in various areas in the region, they are always concerned that they will face some differences regarding the influential phenomena in the region, but both actors have tried to pursue their own interests.
