The Union is the latest stage of a process of integration begun after World War II to promote peace, stability, and economic prosperity in Europe. The United States have strongly supported the EU and its progenitors as a means to foster democratic states and robust trading partners. The United States and the EU share a large, mutually beneficial trade and investment relationship. The global financial crisis and recession has challenged both sides to forge a common response. The United States and EU have a number of lingering trade disputes, but have led the push to liberalise world trade, and have sought to reduce non-tariff and regulatory barriers in the transatlantic workplace. This book provides an overview of these issues.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886894035287,"sku":"9781617288685","price":152.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781617288685.jpg?v=1722542062","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/european-union-background-issues-9781617288685","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
