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.
