Recenzje

'… this volume presents an affordable contemporary overview of the EU's crisis management capacities, the findings of which can be further extended to studies of international relations and organizations. In addition, being rather descriptive in its analysis, this book serves as a perfect 'background story' for starting more detailed research for each domain of the EU's crisis management, employing certain data as a starting point for future case studies.' Nataliya Gudz, Journal of Contemporary European Studies
