Abstract
Based on historical accounts, it is argued that within theundergoing transition of theworld order from aunipolar to amultipolar system, theEuropean continent will assume amore decisive balancing position for theUS. Focusing on aparticular region, Central Europe, it proves that it may contribute afocal point that theUS may need to exercise atheory of containment dwarfing other great powers advancing their interests on theEuropean continent. Theaim of this article is to analyse thesignificance of theEuropean continent in theforeign policy of United States of America (US). Theemphases are highlighted in thecontext of developments that have taken place in theclose partnership between theUS and theEuropean continent since theend of theSecond World War. Furthermore, historical accounts summarise that thecontinent is internally inconsistent and destined to succumb to theobjectives of other great powers regardless of its geostrategic potential. Theconclusions of thereview point out that, if theUS decides to disengage from theEuropean continent, it will also have to disengage from other parts of theworld. Under such circumstances, theUS great power status could decline to anirreparable status, at least for thenear future.
