199367404Washington DC: The Atlantic Council of the United States 1993. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Very good. xvi 78 2 p. Tables. Recommendations. Printed slip with brief summary from David Acheson laid in. Additional authors: Miroslav T. Strlkov National Rapporteur and Tsutomu Toichi National Rapporteur. This is a Policy Paper of The Atlantic Council of the United States. This paper presents comprehensive policy recommendations whih establish a sound foundation for intergovernmental discussions in the area of energy. While "shock therapy" is not deemed appropriate for Russia and Ukraine the working group believes that transition to a market system should be pressed diligently and delibertately taking into account the major adjustments which must be made by society to adapt. From Wikipedia: "The Atlantic Council is a think tank and public policy group whose mission is to "promote constructive U.S. leadership and engagement in international affairs based on the central role of the Atlantic community in meeting the international challenges of the 21st century". It is headquartered in Washington D.C.The Atlantic Council was founded in 1961 with the mission to encourage the continuation of cooperation between North America and Europe that began in the immediate post-war years. In its early years its work consisted largely of publishing policy papers and polling Europeans and Americans about their attitudes towards transatlantic and international cooperation. In these early years its primary focus was on economic issues mainly encouraging free trade between the two continents and to a lesser extent to the rest of the world but it also did some work on political and environmental issues. Although the Atlantic Council did publish policy papers and monographs Melvin Small of Wayne State University wrote that especially in its early years the Council's real strength lie in its connections to influential policy makers. The Council early on found a niche as "center for informal get-togethers" of leaders from both sides of the Atlantic with members working to develop "networks of continuing communication". From its inception the Atlantic Council has worked on issues in regions other than North America and Europe with Asia figuring prominently in the Council's work. The Atlantic Council was among the first organizations advocating for an increased Japanese presence in the international community and in recent years has expanded its focus with the opening of its South Asia Center and Program on Asia. Its Asian programs have expanded in recent years due to the ongoing war in Afghanistan and the new challenge of coordinating with India and China on climate change efforts. In February 2009 James L. Jones then-chairman of the Atlantic Council stepped down in order to serve as President Obama's new National Security Advisor and was succeeded by Senator Chuck Hagel. In addition Council members Susan Rice left to serve as the administration's ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke became the Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan General Eric K. Shinseki became the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Anne-Marie Slaughter became Director of Policy Planning at the State Department. Senator Chuck Hagel stepped down in 2013 to serve as US Secretary of Defense. Gen. Brent Scowcroft now serves as interim chairman of the organization's Board of Directors while a search for his successor is under way. The Atlantic Council has earned praise from across the international community with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen calling the Council a "pre-eminent think tank" with a "longstanding reputation" and former U.S. Senator Richard Lugar R-IN noting that the Council is "held in high esteem within the Atlantic community". The Atlantic Council has since its inception been a nonpartisan institution with members "from the moderate internationalist wings of both parties." Despite its connections the Council is by charter independent of the US government and NATO and a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization." The Atlantic Council of the United States paperback
