Transatlantic Studies Conference 8-11 July 2002
The University of Dundee, Scotland
Co-sponsored by Baylor University Texas
Launch Conference of the Transatlantic Studies Association And The
Journal of Transatlantic Studies to be published by Edinburgh University
Press in 2003
The Atlantic region has been defined by a long history of economic,
political and security links, migration and cultural
cross-fertilization, and the growing intensity of interdependence. It
forms a focus for research, which The Journal of Transatlantic Studies
will service as a dedicated publication.
As the world globalizes there will be an increasing tendency to deal
with larger aggregates of actors. The Journal of Transatlantic Studies
and the Transatlantic Studies Association are in tune with this
development. Both focus on the interface between the nation state and
the world community in all its complex make-up by using a clearly
defined region to structure research, and both aim to stimulate
co-operative multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research in this
field.
