Summary
Keukeleire and Delreux demonstrate the scope and diversity of the
European Union's foreign policy, showing that EU foreign policy is
broader than the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common
Security and Defence Policy, and that areas such as trade, development,
environment and energy are inextricable elements of it.
This
book offers a comprehensive and critical account of the EU's key foreign
relations – with its neighbourhood, with the US, China and Russia, and
with emerged powers – and argues that the EU's foreign policy needs to
be understood not only as a response to crises and conflicts, but also
as a means of shaping international structures and influencing long-term
processes.
This third edition reflects recent changes and
trends in EU foreign policy as well as the international context in
which it operates, addressing issues such as the increasingly contested
international order, the conflict in Ukraine, the migration and refugee
crisis, Brexit and Covid-19. The book not only clarifies the formal
procedures in EU foreign policy-making but also elucidates how it works
in practice. The third edition includes new sections and boxes on
'strategic autonomy', European arms exports, the EU's external
representation, the 'Brussels Effect', and decentring and gender
approaches to EU foreign policy.
Up to date, jargon-free and
supported by its own website (www.eufp.eu), this systematic and
innovative appraisal of this key policy area is suitable for
undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners.
