The globalisation of national security has lagged behind the globalisation of the national economy : states continue to define security threats largely in regional terms and seek regional solutions, whereas states increasingly approach issues of political economy as global in scope and solution. This disjunction between the regionalisation of national security and globalisation of national economic welfare creates a potential barrier to interstate cooperation, particularly if `national security' has two interdependent components: the economic and the military-strategic. Whereas there are a wide variety of f ora that cope with common threats to economic stability ranging from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank to the OECD to the G-8, there is not a similar set of inclusive f ora for addressing threats to system-wide military-strategic instability. Rather, there is a disjointed and oftentimes discordant system of security institutions, many of which are anchored by the United States and only indirectly bind the fates of Europe and Asia together. The interests that Asia and Europe share in common have been largely mediated by the United States. There is a common perception that the relationship between Asia and Europe is strictly mercantile rather than strategic ; Europe plays at best a peripheral role in Asian affairs and Asia plays virtually no role at all in European affairs. The renewed interest in regional solutions to the problems of economic growth and stability has made the United States less capable and willing to

The notorious banana saga has been dealt with on three levels : the GATT/WTO, the EC Court of Justice("ECJ")and EC Member States' courts. These different f ora did not render convergent decisions, but rather complicated the matter further. Clearly, the EC banana regime favoured EC and ACP bananas to the detriment of third-country bananas. GATT/ WTO panels supported arguments by non-ACP parties and found the banana regime to be inconsistent with EC's obligations under GATT/WTO nondiscrimination rules. However, the ECJ has rejected legal challenges against the EC regime, thus giving rise to conflicts with GATT /WTO findings and national courts. This paper reviews the banana dispute before the GATT/WTO, the ECJ and national courts to compare each judicial control over the EC trade

At the threshold to the 21st century EU/US politico-economic relations remain crucial for both partners and in solving global problems. This paper advocates the transformation of these relations into a more consolidated and better integrated New Transatlantic Partnership. Following a brief review of Euro-American trade and investment links, remaining major frictions, essential factors in the evolving partnership, and initiatives taken in -the 1990s to strengthen transatlantic ties will be discussed. The paper then addresses the question how an `ever closer cooperation' between the EU and the US can best be achieved. It suggests completion of the New Transatlantic Marketplace as central instrument to bring about the called for transformation.
