Recenzje

`The chapters are well-written, providing very good summaries of the issues they address....Foreign and Security Policy in the European Union provides a good overview' - International Affairs

`[This book] is to be welcomed for shedding light on a relatively new and highly sensitive policy area' - European Foreign Affairs Review

`Few edited volumes are more than the sum of their parts, but this one is. The central question posed by this collection of essays is why closer harmonization in the EU's second pillar, Common Foreign and Security Policy [CFSP], is proving so difficult. The book responds to the question in three linked and mutually informing sections.... Eliassen has skillfully brought together a synergistic set of essays which leave the reader in no doubt about the complexity or magnitude of problems the EU faces in taking CFSP forward. In offering understanding rather than easy answers the book makes a valuable contribution to the literature.' - Political Studies
