A common foreign policy for Europe?
de Peterson, John, Helene Sjursen
The European Union's frequent inability to wield its enormous international power effectively in the pursuit of European interests constitutes one of the most fascinating paradoxes of the 'European project'. This book makes an original contribution to the debate about the EU's global role by bringing together competing visions of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). It offers a definitive assessment of the post-Maastricht evolution of the EU's role as a global actor, as well as a prognosis for the CFSP given the reforms mandated by the 1997 Amsterdam Treaty.
