This new volume develops a conceptual framework for considering and
evaluating the roles played by the EU in international politics,
drawing upon the literatures of role analysis, international
relations and European integration. It pays particular attention to
five aspects of role analysis: role conceptions, origins of roles,
role institutionalization, role performance and role impact. These
form themes running through the volume and are dealt with in
individual contributions as appropriate. It also presents fresh
applications and empirical case studies that support the conceptual
framework and demonstrate the uses of role analysis in relation to
the EU and its international activities, and its capacity to inform
investigation from different perspectives and standpoints. By
taking this approach and by providing both conceptual and empirical
argument, this book delivers an innovative perspective on the
analysis of the European Union as an international actor, and on
the ways in which EU actions are formed and have impact. It also
establishes a research agenda based on rigorous development of the
framework for role analysis, and demonstrates the ways in which
this agenda might be furthered.
