ABSTRACT
Scholars and pundits of transatlantic relations are now quick to assert that populism and party polarization in America and Europe will undermine the transatlantic order. In this chapter, we lay the groundwork to challenge this perception, providing a systematic overview of transatlantic relations in various policy arenas (military intervention, alliance politics, cyber politics, international nuclear and financial order as well as transatlantic domestic orders) while highlighting the social mechanisms by which democratic nations infuse resilience into their cooperation. Building on recent advances in democratic peace theory and foreign policy analysis, we provide new empirical and theoretical insights that advance the research frontier to show that the transatlantic order is more durable than often thought in some areas, while being tested in others.
