Opis

The European Union is one of the world's biggest economies. However, its role as an international actor is ambiguous and it's not always able to transform its political power into effective external policies. The development of an assertive European Union challenges the image of an internal project aimed at economic integration and international relations theories based on unitary state actors. The contributors explore a wide range of issues and policy areas in all three pillars of the Union.
