Atlanticism, also known as Transatlanticism, is the belief in or support for a close relationship between the peoples and governments in Northern America and those in Europe. It seeks to maintain the security and prosperity of the participating countries and protect liberal democracy and the progressive values of an open society that unite them. The term derives from the Atlantic Ocean, which is bordered by North America and Europe.
