This is a book about building bridges and strengthening the partnership between Latvia and the United States. The publication "Latvia and the United States: Revisiting the Strategic Partnership in a Transforming Environment" continues the tradition of a thorough and regular re-assessment of bilateral engagement between the two nations. The publication starts with an analysis of relations in a wider historical and regional context and further deals with security and defense matters and cooperation; economic cooperation; as well as trajectories of people-to-people diplomacy and the important role of the Latvian diaspora in the United States. A team of prominent Latvian and US experts contribute their assessment of the last several years in Latvian-US relations and present recommendations for the future.
This book is published by the Latvian Institute of International Affairs in cooperation with SJSC Latvian Railway, the Embassy of the Republic of Latvia to the United States of America and SIA Pata AB, the European Crabbing Association, and the American Latvian Association.
