Recommendation

Though it receives much less attention than its Pacific counterpart, the Atlantic hemisphere is a critical nexus of globalization. The four continents surrounding the Atlantic Ocean constitute a region confronting challenges in energy production, climate change, trafficking, terrorism and cybersecurity, among others. This insightful explainer from analyst Daniel S. Hamilton uses a new 20-country cooperation agreement as a springboard to underline the importance of the Atlantic hemisphere in commerce, politics and society.

Take-Aways

  • The Atlantic hemisphere highlights many aspects of globalization.
  • The region faces challenges that differ from those of the rest of the world.
  • Pan-Atlantic nations can work to achieve greater cohesion on climate, economics and data.
