This book examines how the different normative foundations of
conflict resolution held by various global actors, their
understandings of justice, and the differences between types of
conflict influence the varying means by which conflicts can be
prevented, managed, and ultimately resolved. By combining insights
from political theory, conflict studies, and European Union (EU)
foreign policy studies, the book identifies the EU as the key case
of a conflict manager that is both a product and a defender of a
global liberal order. It focuses on three aspects of conflict
resolution that pose their own sets of both normative and empirical
dilemmas: resolving border disputes; strengthening the resilience
of weak or divided states and societies after regime change, and
intervention in humanitarian crises. Furthermore, it offers a
comparative analysis between a potentially distinctive European
approach and that of other global actors and reflects critically on
situations where policy practice may not always reflect a concern
for justice, asking what countervailing forces prevail and why.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students in
European and EU Studies, Area studies, Conflict Resolution, War
Studies, EU Foreign Policy Political Theory, International
relations as well as policymakers.
This title was first published in 2001. This study questions
whether the development of foreign and security policy co-operation
within the EU has constrained or empowered Danish, Dutch and Irish
foreign policy. This entails a study of the relationship between
national foreign policy and EU frameworks for co-operation.

This book reviews a variety of approaches to the study of the
European Union's foreign policy. Much analysis of EU foreign policy
contains theoretical assumptions about the nature of the EU and its
member states, their inter-relationships, the international system
in which they operate and the nature of European integration. Such
assumptions, when not discussed openly, often curtail debate. This
book opens up this field of enquiry so students, observers and
analysts of EU foreign policy can review a range of tools and
theoretical templates from which the development and the trajectory
of the EU's foreign policy can be studied. Situated at the
interface between European studies and international relations, the
book outlines how the EU relates to the rest of the world,
explaining its effort towards creating a credible, effective and
principled foreign, security and defence policy. -- .
During the last two decades the study of European foreign policy
has experienced remarkable growth, presumably reflecting a more
significant international role of the European Union. The Union has
significantly expanded its policy portfolio and though empty
symbolic politics still exists, the Union's international relations
have become more substantial and its foreign policy more focused.
European foreign policy has become a dynamic policy area, being
adapted to changing challenges and environments, such as the Arab
Spring, new emerging economies/powers; the crisis of
multilateralism and much more. The SAGE Handbook of European
Foreign Policy, Two-Volume set, is a major reference work for
Foreign Policy Programmes around the world. The Handbook is
designed to be accessible to graduate and postgraduate students in
a wide variety of disciplines across the humanities and social
sciences. Both volumes are structured to address areas of critical
concern to scholars at the cutting edge of all major dimensions of
foreign policy. The volumes are composed of original chapters
written specifically to the following themes: * Research traditions
and historical experience * Theoretical perspectives * EU actors *
State actors * Societal actors * The politics of European foreign
policy * Bilateral relations * Relations with multilateral
institutions * Individual policies * Transnational challenges The
Handbook will be an essential reference for both advanced students
and scholars.
