Atlanticist
Transatlantic partnership supporter
An Atlanticist supports close political, economic, and military cooperation between North America and Western Europe—particularly through NATO and transatlantic alliances.
The term implies commitment to shared democratic values and collective security against common threats: Atlanticist foreign policy dominated the Cold War era.
Often contrasted with isolationist or nationalist positions.
