The European Union as a Global Actor
When trade, global warming, human rights, local conflicts, or indeed most of the major
global issues are addressed in the news, it is likely that the European Union will be
involved. It is not a state, yet in some of its roles it rivals the United States. This poses a
problem for international relations theory, which is more accustomed to dealing with
sovereign state actors.
This new and substantially re-written edition of
The European Union as a Global
Actor
seeks to address this issue, develops a theoretical approach to understanding the
European Union as an actor in the global system, and applies the theory across the range
of the EU’s external activities.
This new edition includes:
• A new emphasis on the construction of identity and its relation to actor capability
• An investigation of external constructions of the EU, including a wide range of
interviews with the staff of third country missions
• A substantive analysis of the dimensions of EU external action based on new research
which provides a wide coverage of recent developments in economic, environmental,
development, foreign and now military policy
• Up-to-date material on the structures, procedures and content of EU external action.
The European Union as a Global Actor
builds upon the ground-breaking constructivist
approach to defining and explaining the development of the European actor formulated
within the first edition. This book provides an invaluable and comprehensive resource for
students with interests in European Studies, International Relations and Politics.
