The EU as a Political Actor: The Analysis of Four Dimensions of the EU&#039;s Actorness

Dr. Petr Kratochvíl

doi:10.5771/9783845235585

Summary

This book innovatively explores various facets of European integration, whereby the unifying theme is the EU´s actornessin international affairs. Four individual dimensions of its actorness are explored - the EU´s legitimacy, its external recognition, its attractiveness, and its power to frame policy. These four dimensions are explored both theoretically and in the context of several empirical case studies. The book will be of utmost interest to both practitioners and students of European integration.
