Germany and the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union - Between Europeanization and National Adaptation

This book examines Germany's role in the development of the common foreign and security policy of the European Union. It examines Germany and the EU's development from regional actors to global players in the twenty-first century. '...this work makes a valuable contribution to understanding German policy towards CFSP. The book does a good job at highlighting some of the key political and military deficiences, which will define German FSP for the years to come, and underlines Miskimmon's claim that it has been far less Europeanized than is commonly argued.' - Jan Gaspers, Journal of Common Market Studies
