About this book

Scholars and policymakers in EU foreign policy lament the EU's inability to assert itself on the world stage. This book explains this weakness by arguing that EU foreign policy is burdened by various internal functions, and systemizes the analysis of internal functionality, pushing the study beyond the concern with effectiveness.

Reviews

". . . the book presents a sophisticated picture of the contructivist functions that foreign plays in the advancement of European Integration." - Crisitian Nitoiu, The Jounral Of Common Market Studies, Volume 49, No. 6, November 2011.
