About the Transatlantic Academy

The Transatlantic Academy was created in 2007 as a partnership between the German Marshall Fund

of the United States (GMF) and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius. The Robert Bosch Stif-

tung and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation joined as full partners beginning in 2008, and

the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung joined as a full partner in 2011. The Compagnia di San Paolo joined in

providing additional support in May 2009, as did the Joachim Herz Stiftung and the Volkswagen Stif-

tung in 2011, and the Aurea Foundation in 2013. In addition, the Academy received startup funding

from the Transatlantic Program of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany through funds

of the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

The golden age o

the West in U.S.

higher education

coincided with

the first two

decades of the

Cold War, when i

was impossible t

avoid discussion

of the West, of

its past and of

its perennially

troubled future.

Northeast, or is

not particularly

interested in

foreign policy, he

It was one thing

for the West

to promote its

preferred method

of globalism

in the 1990s.

It is entirely

another for an

unchosen pattern

of globalization

to be imposed

upon the West.

probably be gone

Current U.S. and

European foreign

policy is shapeless

or rudderless

because the

narrative of

Western liberty

has been removed

from it and no

comparable

narrative found
