3 Handout 15/16 September John Tiplady Atlantic Partnership/Atlantic Community in John F. Kennedy s Inaugural Speech of 1961 Key Dates 1939 In the work Union Now! Clarence Streit forwards the concept of an Atlantic Federal Union, promoting democratic unity. June April June European Recovery Program (Marshall Plan) is established, providing monetary aid to rebuild European economies and help prevent the spread of Soviet Communism. Signing of the North Atlantic Treaty. Targeted at maintaining the security of the North Atlantic Area. The Atlantic Treaty Association (ATA) was established, striving to advance the interests of security and democracy in North America and Europe. March Signing of the Treaty of Rome, establishing the European Economic Community (EEC.) January Atlantic Institute for International Affairs founded, promoting economic, political and cultural relations among NATO allies. January Fall 1961 Sep In his inaugural speech, John F. Kennedy calls for a host of cooperative ventures among the old allies. Foundation of the Atlantic Council. In response to fears that the Western alliance was fragmenting, the Council encouraged communication and cooperation between North America and Europe. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development founded (OECD) Why Atlantic Partnership? Geir Lundestad - To fight Soviet Communism the resources of the United States and Western Europe had to be fitted into an Atlantic framework.
4 Jeffrey Giauque - Shared democratic values, interest in economic development, and need for a strong political and military front against the Soviet bloc held the Atlantic states together and encouraged the development of new means of co-operation. What concerned Kennedy in 1960/1961? Geir Lundestad - Increasing fears about the EEC keeping American goods out of Europe and apprehension over Europe becoming a Third Force which would exclude the United States. Melvin Small - Problems had developed within the alliance during the late fifties involving the return to power of Charles de Gaulle in France, the possible participation of Great Britain in the Common Market, the balance of payments, the command and control of nuclear weapons within NATO, and a general feeling of malaise revolving around the feeling that those committed to American-European cooperation who were present at the creation of early Cold War institutions like NATO were fast disappearing from the political scene. How did Kennedy seek to address the malaise and reinforce Atlantic partnership and cooperation? John F. Kennedy s Inaugural Address - To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do--for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. Jeffrey Giauque Through closer consultation with European allies the administration aimed to reach its goal of US leadership in the political, economic, conventional defense, and nuclear defense arenas by creating an Atlantic Community based on NATO, sweeping tariff reductions, and the Multi-Lateral Force.

6 Alice Lilly (University of Nottingham) QUOTES [de Gaulle] had a vision not of a United Europe but of a confederation in which the Europeanness of all participants would be recognized. With this common interest, they would stand as a unit against the rest of the world. - Charles Bohlen, US Ambassador to France under de Gaulle, writing in I made it a rule for myself and for the US government simply to ignore President de Gaulle s attacks on our policies and the doubts he had raised about the value of our pledges. Nothing he could say would, in my judgement, divert the French people from their friendship with the American people, a friendship firmly rooted in history. - Lyndon Johnson, in his 1973 memoirs We are not joined together by experience or convenience in pursuit of temporary goals. European unity and Atlantic partnership are based on deeply shared values and dangers, and interests, and the wise pursuit of the interest of each will strengthen the connection among all our nations. The United States has no policy for the people of Europe, but we do have a policy toward the people of Europe We must all seek to assist in increasing the unity of Europe We must all work to multiply in number and intimacy the ties between North America and Europe. For we shape an Atlantic civilization with an Atlantic destiny. - Johnson speech at Georgetown University, 1964 Yes, it is Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals, it is Europe, it is the whole of Europe, that will decide the destiny of the world. - Charles de Gaulle, in a 1959 speech The American interest is not always the French interest. This will be more and more true in the future, which will give Europe a greater and greater weight, and which will therefore contribute to diminishing the relative weight of the US. - De Gaulle, 1963 BIBLIOGRAPHY (in addition to the session reading list) Primary sources Bohlen, C., Witness to History, , WW Norton and Company, New York, Brands, H.
