This book offers a conceptualisation of unintended consequences and
addresses a set of common research questions, highlighting the
nature (what), the causes (why), and the modes of management (how)
of unintended consequences of the European Union's (EU) external
action. The chapters in the book engage with conceptual and
empirical dimensions of the topic, as well as scholarly and policy
implications thereof. They do so by looking at EU external action
across various policy domains (including trade, migration,
development, state-building, democracy promotion, and rule of law
reform) and geographic areas (including the USA, Russia, the
Western Balkans, the southern and eastern European neighbourhood,
and Africa). The book contributes to the study of the EU as an
international actor by broadening the notion of its impact abroad
to include the unintended consequences of its (in)actions and by
shedding new light on the conceptual paradigms that explain EU
external action. This book fills the gap in IR and EU scholarship
concerning unintended consequences in an international context and
will be of interest to anyone studying this important phenomenon.
It was originally published as a special issue of The International
Spectator (Italian Journal of International Affairs). Chapters 1,
3, 7, 8 and 9 are available Open Access at

Is there a tension between the normative fundamentals and strategic
objectives of European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP)? Is 'values
versus security' an unavoidable choice to be made by the EU and its
neighbours or, rather, a false dichotomy? Newly available in
paperback, this book argues that what is often considered a
fundamental dilemma of EU foreign policy misrepresents a much more
complex reality in which values and security interplay to shape the
EU's external positions. The book proposes an original conceptual
framework for examining the complex interaction between values and
security and situates the ENP in the broader conceptual debate
about European foreign policy. In this way, it goes beyond the
early scholarship on ENP, mainly inspired by the EU enlargement
literature, to examine the EU's evolving relations with its
immediate neighbours in areas such as democracy promotion, common
foreign and security policy, conflict management and resolution and
soft security issues such as energy or immigration policy. -- .
The Balkan countries have responded differently to the EU's
conditional offer of membership. This book examines the diverging
compliance patterns of the Balkan accession states and asks why
some of them have complied substantially, some only partially and
others have defied the EU. The book examines the compliance of the
Balkan states with the EU accession conditionality, arguing that
the variation in the compliance behavior of Balkan governments
hinges on three main factors - the legitimacy of the EU conditions
as seen domestically in the accession states, the costs of
compliance and the EU's ability and willingness to use its superior
power resources to impose compliance when faced with domestic
defiance. Placing important events from the most recent political
history of the Balkans in a broader historical perspective, the
author evaluates the successes and failures of the EU's state
building policies in the Balkans, a geographical area of the
highest priority for the EU's foreign policy and a test case for
the EU's capacity and willingness for foreign policy action. Based
on detailed empirical data, European Foreign Policy and the
Challenges of Balkan Accession will be of interest to scholars and
students of EU and comparative politics, and those focusing on
policy impact in EU integration.
