About this book
In the past three decades, the world has witnessed many rapid and invasive changes, and seems to be changing countries have adapted their foreign policies to these changes. Building on a clear typology of foreign policy change and a consistent theoretical framework, this book offers a comparative analysis of foreign policy change in Europe throughout the post-Cold War period. Along the lines of our analytical framework, country experts discuss how and why the further ever more rapidly in ways that seemed only imaginable in movies. This book investigates how European foreign policies of eleven European countries have changed over the past thirty years. This book hereby advances our understanding of the phenomenon of foreign policy change and identifies the most important drivers and inhibitors of change.
Reviews
“This book is a must-read for everyone interested in the foreign policies of European countries in the three decades since the end of the Cold War.” (Wolfgang Wagner, Professor of International Security, Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
“Foreign Policy Change in Europe since 1991 makes a very important and distinctive contribution to the theoretical literature on change in foreign policy. The editors develop an innovative framework that considers both “inhibitors” and “drivers” (international and domestic) of foreign policy change, ranging from incremental adjustments to a full reorientation of international relations. The framework is rigorously applied across chapters for eleven European states since the end of the cold war. These excellent cases are substantively rich, theoretically rigorous, and tightly structured. The concluding chapter thus “grasps” systematic insights into the sources, range, and direction of change in broad patterns of European foreign policies. The volume truly excels as both a source on comparative European foreign policy and empirically well-informed theory on the sources of foreign policy change.” (Joe D. Hagan, Barnette Professor in Political Science, West Virginia University, USA)
