European Union-Foreign Relations

Indeks : p.250-255 ; p.241-249 ; An Introduction to European Foreign Policy provides a concise introduction to European foreign policy and its role in world politics. Written by a consummate Brussels insider, the book assesses the external issues and priorities facing the EU in the twenty-first century. By examining the origins, workings and priorities of European foreign policy, Fraser Cameron argues that the European Union (EU) has become a new and increasingly influential super power. The book reviews the evolution of the EU's international role over the past two decades and illustrates the growing influence of the EU in traditional areas such as trade and development, as well as in new areas such as the environment and global governance. The development of the EU's military capabilities is also assessed, as is the EU's wide range of relationships with key actors (The US, China, Russia) and regions (the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Africa) around the globe.
