"The most updated historical background and an original, stimulating and variable analysis of the EU's policy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict available today. This makes the book obligatory reading for academics, graduates and policy makers researching and dealing with the Union's foreign policy, in general, and Euro-Middle Eastern relations, in particular.'

- European Foreign Affairs Review

'With a focus on two major issues in international relations (EU foreign policy and the MEPP), this book fully succeeds in contributing to academic debates on EU actorness.'
