Opis

What are the achievements, the limits and the failures of the EU's involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict? This book sets out to answer this question by analysing the development of European policy towards the conflict over the last forty years.

Recenzje

"The most updated historical background and an original, stimulating and variable analysis of the EU's policy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict available today. This makes the book obligatory reading for academics, graduates and policy makers researching and dealing with the Union's foreign policy, in general, and Euro-Middle Eastern relations, in particular.'

- European Foreign Affairs Review

'With a focus on two major issues in international relations (EU foreign policy and the MEPP), this book fully succeeds in contributing to academic debates on EU actorness.'

- The International Spectator
