POLICY ISSUES BETWEEN THE US AND WESTERN EUROPE IN THE 1980s
18 September 1980
I. The shaping economic and social forces in Europe today and
tomorrow
-- will the organization of production, the sharing out of the
economic and social product, and economic management have
the same overriding. importance in the 1980s that they acquired
in the 1970s?
--,in what ways will the dominating problems (inflation, low
growth, access to resources and markets, structural obsoles-
cence) and the potential new advantages (better conservation,
new technologies,.relative social tranquillity) look different,
or, remain essentially the same?
-- what will be the dominant trends in the search for more effective
approaches to these problems: reassertion of free market prin-
ciples,. social management, neo-corporativism, industrial democ-
racy?
--.in what significant ways might new social (or cultural) trends
impinge on economic management: e.g., aging populations and
generational gaps, retreat from consumerism, quality of life
movements, environmental enthusiams, etc.
-- what major divergences could appear among the Europeans as
those trends unfold, and with what consequences? might tradi-
tional social and economic idiosyncrasies gain new vigor? how
would Europeans respond?
II. The international context -- Western Europe's global interests and
perspectives in the next decade
-- in what ways do we see the changing currents in. Europe's internal
situation translating into fewer, more, or a different set of
interests abroad?
-- looking both backward and forward, do the Europeans see their
evolving relationships with the rest of the free industrialized
world becoming more competitive or-more cooperative, or both?
-- how do the Europeans perceive developments in the US and in
their relations with the US affecting the American dimension
in global affairs: a declining but still preeminent factor,
competitor but essential partner, recuperable manager of the
international system, etc.?
