| Abstract: | European Union foreign policy is a movable feast. The scope of activities and even its constituent territory and basic administrative apparatus are in a state of constant flux. When I started this book, however, while a Fulbright scholar at Stanford in 1994/95, it wasn't very fashionable to conceive of the EU as possessing a foreign policy. By the time I had finished it, while I was working with the UN World Food Programme in the DPR Korea (north Korea) in 2000/01, it was much more acceptable to talk about the Union as a foreign policy actor- albeit a peculiar one. Today there seems a general acceptance that the Union is more than the sum of its parts when it acts abroad. Certainly for its many partners and competitors, its allies and adversaries, it is an international actor that has to be taken into account- and therefore understood- when considering strategies to manage international affairs. How to explain what the Union has done and is capable of doing abroad- what its priorities are and how it handles them- is the theme of this book. |
