The Atlantic Basin Initiative is a project conducted by the Transatlantic Leadership Network, together with the Foreign Policy Institute of Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced Studies, to support a network of Eminent Persons and research institutes across Europe, North and South America and Africa investigating how globalization is changing Atlantic interactions and dedicated to identifying and harnessing the potential of ‘pan-Atlantic’ cooperation in three broad areas:

• The Atlantic Ocean, Natural Resources, Blue Economy, Energy;
• Commercial and Digital Connections;
• Challenges to Human Security.
