An all-inclusive, exhaustive evaluation of the foreign policy of the European Union
Fourteen years ago the 2009 Lisbon Treaty put into place the legal and structural foundations for the European Union to play a role as a global actor. In the decade since, the EU itself has undergone intense political and economic stress, from debt crises to the rise of nationalist parties and the strains of Brexit. What effect have these changes had on the EU's foreign policy and its role in the world?
This new edition of The Foreign Policy of the European Union offers an up-to-date and comprehensive examination of that question.
