About this book
Reviews
“The European Union as International Mediator is a convincing assessment of the EU’s mediation effectiveness as part of the EU’s foreign and security policy. … Rich in detail and supported by more than 70 interviews, the cases are comprehensive and interesting to read … .” (Karin Göldner-Ebenthal and Beatrix Austin, S+F Sicherheit und Frieden, Vol. 37 (3), 2019)
“This is a superb study of an under-appreciated and under-analysed aspect of the EU’s role in conflict management. The case studies are rich in detail and the conclusions drawn from the analysis of EU practice are judicious. The book is a must-read for all analysts and practitioners interested in the developing foreign and security policy of the EU.” (Richard G. Whitman, Professor of Politics and International Relations, University of Kent, UK)“In this timely and innovative book, Julian Bergmann provides the first comparative analysis of the EU’s effectiveness as an international mediator. It is an empirically rich and compelling account of the EU’s stabilising role in its neighbourhood by focusing on the cases of Montenegro’s independence, the Belgrade–Pristina dialogue and South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It provides a key resource for both scholars and practitioners seeking to better understand the key factors that shape the EU’s mediation role in peace negotiations.” (Ana E. Juncos,Professor of European Politics, University of Bristol, UK)
