Conflict prevention and crisis management has become a key activity
for the EU since the creation of the Common Security and Defence
Policy in 1999. The rapid growth of this policy area, as well as
the number of missions deployed beyond the EU's border raise
important questions about the nature of the EU's international role
and its contribution to international security. The Contributions
to EU Conflict Prevention and Crisis Management analyze European
conflict prevention and crisis management in terms of the EU's
evolving global role, its institutions and its policies. The volume
analyzes the EU's position in relation to the US, the UN and other
regional security organizations, and applies three different
institutionalist perspectives - historical, rational choice and
sociological institutionalism - to explain the increasing
institutionalization of EU crisis management. It also critically
analyzes the application of EU policies in West Africa, Afghanistan
and the Caucasus. Providing a comprehensive analysis of EU crisis
management, the volume explores what role EU conflict prevention
and crisis management plays in a European and a global context.
Offering a comprehensive and original contribution to the
literature on EU foreign and security policy, this volume will be
of interest to students and scholars of European politics,
international relations and security studies.

This book represents the first ever comprehensive study of the EU's
foreign and security policy in Bosnia. Drawing on a wealth of fresh
empirical material, it demonstrates that institutions are a key
variable in explaining levels of common foreign security policy
(CFSP) coherence and effectiveness over time. In doing so, it also
sheds new light on the role that intergovernmental, bureaucratic
and local political contestation have played in the formulation and
implementation of a European foreign policy. The study concludes
that the EU's involvement in Bosnia has not only had a significant
impact on this Balkan country in its path from stabilisation to
integration, but has also transformed the EU, its foreign and
security policy and shaped the development of the EU's
international identity along the way. The book will be of great
interest to researchers and students of EU politics, International
Relations and Bosnian politics. -- .
