Description
Book SynopsisThe European Union finds itself at a critical juncture; not only has the deepening crisis in the eurozone weakened the EU s internal structure, it has impacted significantly on its international image and external relations.
Trade Review"Smith delivers an outstanding new edition, which accounts for more recent developments, such as the Lisbon Treaty. Adhering to a thematic structure, the book is unique in its in-depth analysis of a selection of some of the most important aspects of EU foreign policy."
George Kyris, University of Warwick "Karen Smith’s book has rightly established itself as a key text. The enduring strength of the book through its multiple editions is its comprehensive and interlocking assessment of all strands of the EU’s engagement with international relations. It has yet to be bettered as a sophisticated analysis of European foreign policy that is both suitable for newcomers to the subject while also offering cogent insight to experienced analysts."
