內容：Frictions between Europe and the United States are not new, but recent changes in transatlantic relations are unprecedented in scope, intensity, and global impact. This transformation is driven by shifts in the international system as well as domestic political realignments, evolving interest structures, and changing security priorities on both sides. While strong economic interdependence and institutionalized security ties persist, the transatlantic relationship has become increasingly difficult to restore to its post – Cold War trajectory.
In response, the European Union has adopted a composite strategy that combines long-term ambitions for strategic autonomy with short-term crisis management. This approach prioritizes diplomatic engagement while selectively employing economic deterrence to compensate for structural vulnerabilities arising from continued security dependence. Simultaneously, the EU has intensified its economic and major-power diplomacy to facilitate horizontal cooperation among “middle powers.” Overall, changes in transatlantic relations have become a key indicator – and a vivid illustration – of the global order’s accelerating shift toward multipolarity.
