Explaining Euro-Paralysis (eBook, PDF)

Why Europe is Unable to Act in International Politics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about Europe's apparent inability to cope with the complex international environment. Why does the Union fail to create a workable (sound) Common Foreign and Security Policy? Five distinct explanations for Euro-paralysis are considered, focusing on power politics, the assertion of national interests, misguided institutional designs, a crisis of modern democracy, and the post-Cold War conceptual confusion.
