TRANSAT: Transatlantic Relations in times of Uncertainty. Drivers and Mechanisms of EU-US relations. (TRANSAT)

The core feature of transatlantic relations, the relationship between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US), is changing in light of the multiple crises potentially challenging EU unity and the reorientation of US foreign policies. TransAt will investigate and seek to understand if and how EU-US foreign policy relations are affected by EU crises, US foreign policy changes and a more volatile geopolitical environment by applying a common framework in addressing the following empirical questions: 
1) Is the EU unifying or becoming more fragmented vis a vis the US in response to these factors?
2) To what extent are EU-US relations strengthening or weakening in various fields?
3) How can the observed patterns of EU-US relations be explained?
