European Union''s Normative Power in Central Asia Promoting Values and Defending Interests

The normative power of the European Union has historically been a key element of its foreign policy. This study considers the EU's Central Asia policy, questioning whether the EU's normative power can work in this remote region.

Report

"Voloshin's book, therefore, offers a welcome contribution to the limited scholarship on this topic. ... Written in an enjoyable, easy-to-read style, this book will appeal to students and scholars interested in learning more about the EU's external relations with regions beyond its immediate borders. For experts on the EU's involvement in Central Asia, however, this book will add little to what they already know." (Fabienne Bossuyt, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (7), 2016)
