The EU as a Global Player : The Politics of Interregionalism Paperback / softback
Edited by Fredrik (University of Gothenburg, Sweden) Soderbaum, Luk Van Langenhove
Part of the Journal of European Integration Special Issues series
Paperback / softback
Description
A new look at the European Union's role as a global actor, with special focus on the theme of interregionalism in its relations with key regions around the world: Africa, Asia, South America, North America and Central-Eastern Europe. This new collection clearly shows how, since the end of the Cold War, the European Union has gradually expanded its external relations and foreign policies and become a global actor in world politics.
During the last decade interregionalism has become a key component of the EU’s external relations and foreign policies.
In fact, the EU has quickly become the hub of a large number of interregional arrangements with a number of regions around the world.
Promoting regional and interregional relations not only justifies and enhances the EU’s own existence and efficiency as a global ‘player’, the strategy also promotes the legitimacy and status of other regions, giving rise to a deepening of cross-cutting interregional relations in trade and economic relations, political dialogue, development cooperation, cultural relations and security cooperation.
This book was previously published as a special issue of the leading Journal of European Integration.
