Written in tribute to the work of Professor Alan Dobson, this collection of essays brings diplomacy and the Anglo-American relationship together, considering politics and foreign policy in tandem with cultural interactions. Uniquely placed to define exactly what transatlanticism is, and to explore the ways in which this idea has evolved in the last 150 years, this book asks to what extent can it be argued that there was a transatlantic world, how can it be defined and what was unique about it?

Free Download Humboldt and Jefferson: A Transatlantic Friendship of the Enlightenment by Sandra Rebok

Humboldt and Jefferson explores the relationship between two fascinating personalities: the Prussian explorer, scientist, and geographer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and the American statesman, architect, and naturalist Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826). In the wake of his famous expedition through the Spanish colonies in the spring of 1804, Humboldt visited the United States, where he met several times with then-president Jefferson. A warm and fruitful friendship resulted, and the two men corresponded a good deal over the years, speculating together on topics of mutual interest, including natural history, geography, and the formation of an international scientific network. Living in revolutionary societies, both were deeply concerned with the human condition, and each vested hope in the new American nation as a possible answer to many of the deficiencies characterizing European societies at the time.

English | 2014 | ISBN: 0807155292 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 1.5 mb
In the early nineteenth century the major economic players of the Atlantic trade lanes – the United States, Brazil, and Cuba – witnessed explosive commercial growth. Commodities like cotton, coffee, and sugar contributed to the fantastic wealth of an elite few and the enslavement of many. As a result of an increased population and concurrent economic expansion, the United States widened its trade relationship with Cuba and Brazil, importing half of Brazil’s coffee exports and 82 percent of Cuba’s total exports by 1877. Disease, Resistance, and Lies examines the impact of these burgeoning markets on the Atlantic slave trade between these countries from 1808 – when the U.S. government outlawed American involvement in the slave trade to Cuba and Brazil – to 1867, when slave traffic to Cuba ceased.

Free Download Transatlantic Images and Perceptions: Germany and America since 1776 By David E. Barclay, Elisabeth Glaser-Schmidt
1997 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0521580919 | PDF | 21 MB
These essays analyze how German and American views of each other developed and periodically shifted, providing a fresh analysis of the often complex German-American relationship. The images–found in travelogues, private letters, diaries, diplomatic reports, newspaper articles, and movies–that resulted from each encounter frequently reflected the contemporary relations, often foreshadowed future trends, and illustrate how political agendas, prejudices, stereotypes, and pragmatic forces influenced each society’s perceptions.

Free Download Systemic Implications of Transatlantic Regulatory Cooperation and Competition By Simon J. Evenett, Simon J. Evenett, Robert M. Stern
2011 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 9812838481 | PDF | 4 MB
Regulations and enforcement decisions that at first appear to have only a domestic impact can have substantial spillover effects on other nations’ economies. Experience has shown time and again that there is no reason to expect that these effects are confined to jurisdictions at the same level of development. Governments on both sides of the Atlantic recognize this, yet their responses in many policy areas are not aligned — sometimes deliberately so. This creates a complex regulatory landscape that appears to be the product of both cooperation and competition, and which can only be fully understood by looking through a number of disciplinary lenses. Drawing on some of the best legal, economic and political science expertise from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as on the knowledge of officials and private practitioners with experience in both industrialized and developing countries, this timely book assesses the systemic, global implications of transatlantic regulatory cooperation and competition. Insights from thematic papers are integrated with those from sector-specific analyses, and a rich set of implications for policymakers, business and civil society is offered.

Free Download Rahul Gairola, "Homelandings: Postcolonial Diasporas and Transatlantic Belonging"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1783489723, 1783489731 | PDF | pages: 273 | 1.9 mb
Homelandings is a critical exploration of the ways that postcolonial diasporas challenge exclusive formulations of ‘home’ and ‘homeland’ based on racist and heteronormative assumptions. It critically engages with Foucault’s notions of "biopolitics" and "governmentality" as a conjoined technology of governance in the era of neoliberal capitalism ushered into the global economy from the late 1970s. Drawing on texts produced by diasporic people in the UK and USA whose work resists and re-appropriates exclusive home sites produced by trends of Anglo-American neoliberalism, it exposes entrenched discourses of exclusion rooted in race, class, and sexuality. In doing so, it offers an urgent intervention for students and scholars of cultural studies, postcolonial studies, Anglophone literature, comparative literature, Race and Ethnicity studies, and Queer studies.

Free Download Waldemar Zacharaswiewicz, "Transatlantic Elective Affinities: Traveling Ideas and Their Mediators "
English | ISBN: 3700185049 | 2021 | 228 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This volume is the result of an international workshop in which scholars from several disciplines explored less familiar instances of the exchange of ideas across the Atlantic. In the 19th century many American graduates both in the humanities, social and natural sciences as well as medicine, appreciating the progress in these fields of learning in continental Europe, and noting an elective affinity with their peers there, spent time at universities and medical institutions in German-speaking countries and then tried to reform their educational and academic institutions on the basis of transatlantic models. American institutions also recruited scientists from Central Europe for their work. The book also describes new alliances in the field of politics in the 20th century, and analyses the formation of a joint transatlantic peace movement intent on preventing a nuclear apocalypse in the Cold War. It also traces the influence of continental European philosophy and of individual philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein in the USA and Canada, and investigates the inspiration of new branches of philosophy, like film philosophy, in Central Europe.
