Transatlantic Relations
Abstract
The meaning of transatlantic relation is a historical, cultural, political, economic, social relationship between countries on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The term sometimes refers particularly to relations between the North American countries (the United States and Canada) and particular European countries or organizations; there are, however, other meanings.
There are a number of issues on which the United States and Europe generally disagree. Some of these differences are cultural, such as the use of the death penalty in the United States, while others are international, such as the Middle East peace process, in which the United States is seen as pro-Israel and Europe as pro-Arab, and many others are trade-related. Current U.S. policy often is unilateral, whereas in Europe and Canada it is frequently said that a more multilateral approach has been adopted that relies more heavily on the United Nations and other international institutions to help resolve problems, but there are also many other issues on which they agree.
"The Republic of Azerbaijan is an important, in many cases decisive state in regional cooperation in the Caspian-Caucasus region". Being at the geographical junction of the Eastern and Western worlds, it builds its international cooperation with both regional and non-regional countries. In this regard, the configuration of the region to which Azerbaijan belongs is based on the Caspian-Caucasus region and such countries of regional cooperation as Russia, Turkey, and Iran.
