This book studies the role of the EU in peace and security as a regional actor with global aspirations, in the context of challenged and changing multilateralism.
Multilateralism, governance and security are three concepts that have attracted a great deal of attention in the past decade and attempts to redefine them have produced lively conceptual debates.
