Learning and Change in European Foreign Policy: The Case of the EU Special Representatives

Dr. Cornelius Adebahr

doi:10.5771/9783845217338

Summary

Als Repräsentanten der Europäischen Union in über 25 Ländern haben sich die EU-Sonderbeauftragten zu den „Augen und Ohren“ der EU entwickelt. Diesese Werk, das erste zu dem Thema überhaupt, stellt eine umfassende Analyse dieses außenpolitischen Instruments dar. Es ist darüber hinaus eine der wenigen Publikationen zu Organisationalem Lernen, die einen konsistenten theoretischen Ansatz mit fundierter empirischer Recherche, aufbauend auf 55 Experteninterviews, verbindet. Diese Kombination aus analytischer Genauigkeit und politischer Relevanz macht dieses Buch für Wissenschaftler, politische Entscheidungsträger, Studierende und alle an der globalen Rolle der EU Interessierten gleichermaßen bedeutsam.
