Opis

Using an original database of 138 questionnaires and 37 interviews, this book addresses this lack of knowledge, studying what these committees do and how they negotiate and resolve issues. It explores three key areas: the formulation of the national position; the identity of CFSP/CSDP policy-makers; negotiation practices and outputs.

 

Recenzje

'EU foreign policy has always been a secretive, elite-driven phenomenon, and many scholars have suggested that these officials have their own unique working methods to build consensus in the face of competing national perspectives. Yet until now we have lacked a comprehensive study of these processes, their relationship to national positions, and their impact on the international role of the EU. The Formulation of EU Foreign Policy admirably fills that gap, and is a very welcome addition to the literature.' - Prof. M.E. Smith, University of Aberdeen, UK.
