This volume examines how the EU conducts its diplomatic, defense, development and other related policies, and how it has evolved as a foreign policy actor since the Lisbon Treaty entered into force. While exploring these overarching themes, the text’s multiple authors also look at 1) the scholarly, theoretical perspectives through which Brussels’ foreign policy has been analyzed; 2) the main players in the EU, how they formulate its external policies, and how the process has changed over time; 3) the policies that dictate the Union’s foreign relations; and 4) how Brussels manages its strategic partnerships and relationships around the world.
