New Atlantic Initiative




The New Atlantic Initiative (NAI) is an international nonpartisan organization dedicated to revitalizing and expanding the Atlantic community of democracies. NAI is based out of the American Enterprise Institute , a conservation Washington, DC-based think tank.

Objective

The NAI's central objective is to strengthen Atlantic cooperation in the post-cold war world by bringing together Americans and Europeans to work toward common goals, including:

  • The reinvigoration of Atlantic institutions of political cooperation and consultation.

  • The admission of Europe's fledgling democracies into the institutions of Atlantic defense and European economic cooperation, notably NATO and the European Union.

  • The establishment of free trade between an enlarged European Union and the North American Free Trade Area as a complement to strengthening global free trade.

  • The NAI also sponsors conferences, debates, and roundtable discussions in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere.
