The European Union (EU) is experiencing an identity crisis within a changing international order. For decades, the EU has been built as an international player living in and by a world governed by rules. That world has changed radically: the politics of power and force is eroding the institutional order.
The EU stands at a crossroads, as a defender of a multilateral order showing signs of exhaustion and of values which it considers universal but which others openly challenge. Is the EU really prepared for this new stage? Do all member states see the challenge in the same way, or are some more willing to play by the “new rules of the game”?
The chapters of this book address these and other fundamental questions for understanding the EU as an international actor in an evolutionary and systematic logic. The book provides analytical tools (theoretical frameworks) and applied studies on key aspects of EU external action: institutions, instruments, policies and relations with third countries and regional blocs.
