This book investigates the European involvement in managing the
nuclear dispute with Iran, shedding new light on EU foreign
policy-making. The author focuses on the peculiar format through
which the EU managed Iran's nuclear issue: a 'lead group'
consisting of France, Germany and the UK and the High
Representative for EU foreign policy (E3/EU). The experience of the
E3/EU lends credibility to the claim that lead groups give EU
foreign policy direction and substance. The E3/EU set up a
negotiating framework that worked as a de-escalating tool, a
catalyst for Security Council unity and a forum for crisis
management. They inflicted pain on Iran by adopting a comprehensive
sanctions regime, but did so only having secured US commitment to a
diplomatic solution. Once the deal was reached, they defended it
vigorously. The E3/EU may have been supporting actors, but their
achievements were real.
