Does Europe Hate America? [audio 1st 16min]

It is claimed that American foreign policy during the Bush Presidency has lead to an enormous growth in anti-American feeling across Western Europe, and that people are reacting against the influence of American culture. Are the claims true? Presenter Laurie Taylor is joined by Professor Andrei S. Markovits, author of Uncouth Nation: Why Europe Dislikes America, a study of attitudes across Western Europe; and by Aurore Wanlin, Research Fellow at the Centre for European Reform. They discuss the history of anti Americanism and debate the future for relations between Europe and America, as Europe becomes extended and possibly more closely united.
