초록

This article examines transatlantic divergences from three perspectives: climate change, economic security, and energy policy. These divergences result in limited transatlantic coordination in addressing challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. Due to varying geopolitical and economic considerations on both sides of the Atlantic, their priorities differ significantly even though both sides have Indo-Pacific strategies. The EU prioritizes free trade in the Indo-Pacific region over containing China, while the United States focuses on maintaining its leadership and order in the region. While both sides emphasize economic security, some EU member states are hesitant to actively reduce natural gas consumption due to varying levels of energy independence. Although transatlantic climate goals are similar, policy tools and capabilities differ due to variations among states and international organizations. Unlike the European Union, the United States can transition energy through subsidies, which faces challenges due to economic structural differences among its member states. In conclusion, this article argues that climate change, economic security, and energy policy have created a trilemma, making common interests in the Indo-Pacific region a challenging objective.

Abstract

This article examines transatlantic divergences from three perspectives: climate change, economic security, and energy policy. These divergences result in limited transatlantic coordination in addressing challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. Due to varying geopolitical and economic considerations on both sides of the Atlantic, their priorities differ significantly even though both sides have Indo-Pacific strategies. The EU prioritizes free trade in the Indo-Pacific region over containing China, while the United States focuses on maintaining its leadership and order in the region. While both sides emphasize economic security, some EU member states are hesitant to actively reduce natural gas consumption due to varying levels of energy independence. Although transatlantic climate goals are similar, policy tools and capabilities differ due to variations among states and international organizations. Unlike the European Union, the United States can transition energy through subsidies, which faces challenges due to economic structural differences among its member states. In conclusion, this article argues that climate change, economic security, and energy policy have created a trilemma, making common interests in the Indo-Pacific region a challenging objective.
