‘For the many scholars and students who have used the first edition of The Foreign Policies of EU Member States as a key reference and resource, this second edition is very welcome. It also represents a significant advance in our understanding of foreign policies in the EU, combining as it does analysis based on the geopolitical orientations and roles of the member states with their engagement in a series of cross-cutting issues, and enables important comparative conclusions to be drawn. The result is a rich and provocative collection of case-studies as well as a stimulating comparative analysis.’
Michael Smith, University of Warwick, UK.
‘This most welcomed edited book provides an indispensable contribution to studying and understanding EU foreign policy by linking the diverse historic and geostrategic foundations of Member States’ identity and preferences, to those domestic dimensions’ influence on forging a ‘common’ foreign policy across often rather contentious foreign policy fields. It is thus an invaluable read for academics’ as much as for actual foreign policy-makers’ interested in comprehending the challenge of achieving ‘unity in diversity’ in EU foreign policy-making.’
Ingo Peters, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany.
