Books by Jussi M. (Professor of International History and Politics Hanhimaki

The notion that a "West" exists dominates in international relations and political discourse. Yet, especially in recent years, more and more people believe that the "West" is falling apart. The eminent historian of international relations Jussi Hanhimäki refutes this idea, emphasizing the continued strength of transatlantic security co-operation (particularly NATO) and the deeply integrated transatlantic commercial relationship. In Pax Transatlantica, he arguesthat even the rise of populism is evidence of close transatlantic political interconnections rather than a recipe for divorce. The West, the book concludes, not only continues to exist. It is likely to thrive in the future.
