It also sheds new light on the role that intergovernmental, bureaucratic and local political contestation have played in the formulation and implementation of a European foreign and security policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'There is little doubt that the Balkans region has been the most important laboratory for the EU's foreign and security policy ambitions since the collapse of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. There is also little doubt that scholars and policy-makers continue to dispute the extent to which the EU has played a major role in confronting the problems of this region. In this well-researched and very convincing book, Ana Juncos analyses the EU's two decades of experience in Bosnia, arguing that the coherence and effectiveness of its policy are highly contingent on a range of factors that deserve wider attention in the literature on EU foreign\/security policy.' Professor Michael E. Smith, University of Aberdeen 'In this astute analysis, Ana Juncos offers us a treatise on how the EU took on the challenge of Bosnia and how, in the process, it matured as an international actor. Combining empirical rigour with theoretical sophistication, this is a valuable addition to our understanding of how the EU can, and indeed, should, act as a stabilising force in its neighbourhood. It contains important lessons for how we conceive the EU's external role and how Europe's most troubled region was brought back from the brink. It is a book that deserves the widest possible audience.' Professor Mark Webber, University of Birmingham 'EU Foreign and security policy in Bosnia is a cogent analysis of the struggle for coherent and effective policy in the Western Balkans by the EU. In its masterly forensic account of the EU's foreign and security policy involvement in Bosnia the volume greatly deepens our understanding as to why the EU even now continues to seek policy success in Bosnia.'
