This innovative and timely consideration of the European Union's
crisis response mechanisms brings together scholars from a range of
disciplinary backgrounds to examine how and why the EU responds to
crises on its borders and further afield. The work is based on
extensive fieldwork in - among other places - Afghanistan, Libya,
Mali and Iraq. The book considers the construction of crises and
how some issues are deemed crises and others not. A major finding
from this comparative study is that EU crisis response
interventions have been placing increasing emphasis on security and
stabilisation and less emphasis on human rights and
democratisation. This changes - quite fundamentally - the EU's
stance as an international actor and leads to questions about the
nature of the European Union and how it perceives itself and is
perceived by others. -- .
