Reviews

'"The volume provides an encompassing and therefore highly valuable account of the key aspects and issue areas of EU external relations, this textbook is undoubtedly a precious learning aid."' - The Interfacing Spectator

Description

Systematically incorporates the study of IR into the study of the EU's international actions, making the book a perfect fit for the growing number of courses on the International Relations of the EU.
All chapters follow the same sequence and format, making it easy for readers to navigate each chapter.
All chapters include excellent learning aids such as opening summaries, guides to further reading and web sites, as well as boxes which provide specific illustrations of general points.

This text sets out to locate the European Union in the context of International Relations theory and to explore the ways in which the European Union frames and conducts its international relations.

Each chapter deals with the three key themes of the volume: the EU as a sub-system of international relations, the EU and the processes of international relations, and the EU as a power.

Part I surveys the subject's roots, Part II deals with the institutions and processes of policy formation and Part III looks at the key themes of the study of the EU as an international actor.

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students of EU politics.
