About this book

Can Europe defend its social model in a globalized world when the US, China, India and Russia are enhancing their national sovereignties and playing power politics? This original and informative book addresses such questions and considers if Europe, although it is not a 'super state', would be able to impose norms over force.

Reviews

"This important book will be of interest to international relations scholars and decision makers and especially to those concerned with the EU-US relationship. This book should be in every academic library... Highly recommended." - CHOICE
