The EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy : The Quest for Democracy PDF
Edited by Helene Sjursen
Part of the Journal of European Public Policy Series series
Description
This book reorients the study of European foreign and security policy towards the question of democracy.
Blending insights from international relations and democratic theory, it aims to enhance our understanding of the issues at stake.
The main structures, the institutional setting and the procedures that govern decision-making in this domain are examined.
In this way, the book supplements studies with a more traditional focus on the substance of foreign policy.
What are the democratic challenges in this distinct field of policy-making?The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the European Union (EU) is usually assumed to be intergovernmental.
Contributors to this book examine the extent to which a move beyond intergovernmentalism has taken place, how this manifests itself, and what may be the democratic implications.
While the EU’s international outlook testifies to a quest for democracy, the institutions and procedures that govern decision-making are found wanting. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal of European Public Policy.
