About this book

The Making of EU Foreign Policy argues that there has been a common European Union (EU) foreign policy towards six countries of Eastern Europe - Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia - and analyzes why the EU has agreed to the policy. The objective of the EU's policy is to support the transformation of Eastern Europe and thus ensure security and stability. The most important instrument that the EU has used to reach this objective has been the prospect of enlargement.

Reviews

'Smith has produced an extremely useful, and insightful, study of European Union policy towards Eastern europe since the late 1980s...Smith's account is particularly strong in illustrating how EU policy objectives changed across time and policy instruments evolved to reflect policy revisions.' - Richard G. Whitman, Political Studies

'...an invaluable contribution to the field.' - Jakob C. Øhrgaard, Millennium

'...a remarkably comprehensive monograph... I would highly recommend this book to policymakers and all those who deal directly with these matters, as a bureaucratic history and desk reference. It will also be useful as background reading for undergraduate and graduate courses on issues of EU foreign policy, aid, and accession. Its clear style of presentation and evenhanded, objective approach eminently suit these purposes.' - Mitchell A. Orenstein, International Studies Review
