European Foreign Policy: The Ec And Changing Perspectives In Europe

The advent of the "new" Europe will precipitate many changes--and challenges--in the way countries conduct foreign policy. In European Foreign Policy, a team of international contributors shows how the dominant theories in foreign policy analysis can be applied to recent events in Europe. Contributors offer insightful discussions on such issues as the role of multinational companies, the future of European security, the impact of Maastricht, the challenges of a common defense and unified foreign policy, and feminist observations of a "new" Europe. Consideration is also given to the various countries themselves and how each will respond to recent changes. Students and academics in the fields of political science, international relations, comparative politics, and peace studies will find this volume a must read. "A stimulating contribution to the debate on theories of international relations and foreign-policy analysis." --Journal of Peace Research "European Foreign Policy is a landmark collection of studies by European scholars on the value and relevance of foreign policy analysis (FPA) in light of changing international circumstances. European Foreign Policy is a more coherent product than most edited volumes. It is also a welcome revision of, and addition to, the existing literature. This book is a landmark publication in the sense that it takes new initiatives in, and provides new solutions to, problems that are central to foreign policy analysis. As a consequence, it has a rare cumulative impact in the field." -Mershon International Studies Review
