angloamerikanischen

Angloamerikanisch is an adjective used in German to describe relations, characteristics, or influences tied to the Anglo-American world, particularly the close bond between Great Britain and the United States. In scholarly and journalistic contexts it often denotes political, economic, military, legal, and cultural ties that span the Atlantic.

Historically, the term reflects a long-standing connection dating from earlier imperial and transatlantic links, through cooperation in the 19th and early 20th centuries, to the pivotal alliance of the World Wars. The post–World War II era consolidated the relationship under frameworks such as NATO, shared intelligence arrangements, and deep economic integration. The phrase is frequently employed to summarize how Anglo-American countries have shaped liberal-democratic values, free-market policies, and international institutions in Western governance.

In contemporary discourse, angloamerikanisch can refer to ongoing policy convergence or alignment in foreign affairs, security, trade, and cultural exchange. It is also used to describe cultural, legal, and educational commonalities, such as the influence of common-law traditions, the English language, and transatlantic media and academia. At the same time, the term can be invoked critically to discuss perceived dominance, interventionism, or homogenization associated with Anglo-American leadership in global affairs.
