Abstract
This paper explores the writings of Clarence Streit, whose conception
of Atlantic Federalism helped inspire the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. Through his books, articles and editorship of the journal,
Freedom and Union, Streit stimulated an attachment to a larger Atlantic
Community among a generation of Americans and Europeans. His ideas
underpinned the coalitions and institutions established by the United States and
its allies to address the challenges emerging out of the Second World War and
the Cold War. With the Atlantic Community beset by a series of new challenges,
both internal and external, at the turn of the twenty-first century, an exploration
of Streit’s career offers insights into the intellectual origins of NATO and a
conceptual basis for reinvigorating the Alliance today.
