A former deputy chief of the French Foreign Affairs Ministry's think tank, the Centre d'Analyse et de Prévision (1987 - 90), Ms. Gnesotto directed the WEU's Institute for Security Studies (1999-2001) before becoming the first director of the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EU-ISS) until 2007. She has recently been appointed to the chair of European Union studies at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers.
Euro-American relations can no longer be approached and
practiced in the way they were for more than half a century. A high-level
European reflection group comprising former Ministers and Heads of
Government was brought together by Notre Europe to review the future
of the Euro-American partnership. It undertook a sober examination of
the changes under way in the world and their effects on the European
Union and the United States. Above all, the group proposes a new approach
based on renunciation of EU national and US imperial illusions
that could enable the Euro-American partnership to become a springboard
for a global partnership.
