    The U.S. has been among the leading beneficiaries of the progressive Europeanization of Southern Europe. Once difficult bilateral relationships have, in general, become part of the overall

    U.S.-EU relationship. The integration of Europes south has paid clear political and securitydividends for Washington, at a time when partnership and power projection beyond Europe hastaken center stage. How will this trajectory be affected by the current European crisis and the potential for a new north-south divide in Europe? What role can and should the U.S. play inEuropes crisis, and its southern dimension? Does American engagement still matter?
