Europe's Global Role - External Policies of the European Union (Hardcover, New Ed)

This book provides a historical overview, an innovative framework for analyzing the EU's external policies and theoretical conclusions about the EU's role as an international actor. With an original approach and a coherent structure, this volume offers a comprehensive overview of the expanding political science literature on Europe's international role in a range of external policy domains. It focuses on the 'soft' dimension of Europe's international action, often neglected in the literature. With each chapter structured in the same way, it is ideal for course use at Masters level and as secondary reading for courses on EU politics. In addition to students and scholars of European Politics and Foreign Policy, this book will appeal to a wider audience of political economy, security policy and international relations more generally.
