Set against a backdrop of EU enlargement and disarray over military intervention in Iraq, International Relations of the EU is a timely contribution to our understanding of the Eu's role as an international actor.

The text is suitable for advanced undergraduate courses in Politics and International Relations.

An incisive and lively discussion of what the EU is doing in its relationship with the world and to what effect.
