Research handbook on the EU's common foreign and security policy

Description
Steven BLOCKMANS and Panos KOUTRAKOS. Research handbook on the EU's common foreign and security policy. Cheltenham, UK : Edward Elgar Publishing, 2018, xi, 545p.

At a critical time for the identity and policy direction of the EU, this Research Handbook examines the dynamics behind the development of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). The Research Handbook includes chapters ... that examine the efficacy and visibility of the EU as a diplomatic, military and civilian actor in a turbulent world. The authors' original contributions address the impact that existing frameworks, structures and procedures have on the effectiveness of the EU as an international actor and consider the legal challenges to the EU's integrated approach to external action.
