Download or read book The EU as a Global Player written by Fredrik Soderbaum. This book was released on 2013-09-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 8, Maastricht University, language: English, abstract: The European Union is a unique entity in our world. This paper looks at the historical development of the EU and its economic power versus its power as an actor in the realms of international relations. To demonstrate the latter case, the Iraq war is used as a case study to demonstrate the difficulties the EU has to act as one player in international relations and still very much relies on national opinions.

Book Synopsis The EU as a 'Global Player' in Human Rights? by : Jan Wetzel
Download or read book The EU as a 'Global Player' in Human Rights? written by Jan Wetzel. This book was released on 2012-02-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treaty of Lisbon has endowed the EU with a normative human rights framework that confirms recognition as a fully-fledged regional mechanism for the protection of human rights. The aim of this book is to contribute to the growing discussion of the external human rights dimension of the European Union. Its theme sits at the crossroads between International and EU law, Human Rights, and Political Science. In moving beyond well-covered topics such as the protection of human rights within the EU, or their relevance for the accession of new Member States, this book asks the broader question of whether EU human rights law has any real relevance on a global scale. In total, The EU as a 'Global Player' in Human Rights gives an overview of the international relevance of EU human rights law by means of exemplary case-studies of the EU’s institutional and substantive protection of human rights, whilst consideration of non-European perspectives from China and Japan underline its global focus. This book will be of particular interest to researchers, students, and practitioners in International and European law, Human Rights Law, European studies and International Relations.

Book Synopsis Imagining Europe as a Global Player by : Christoffer Kølvraa
Download or read book Imagining Europe as a Global Player written by Christoffer Kølvraa. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that since 2001 the primary discursive context for articulating a European identity within the EU has increasingly become the idea of a common foreign policy for Europe. A new grand project of making Europe a true global player is being put forth and it is this as yet unrealised ideal that European citizens are now being asked to identify with.<BR> The author examines European identity as an ideological construction that seeks to elicit emotional and affective attachment to the political project of realising a utopian ideal. He unravels the discourses involved in the construction of European identity by drawing on theories and methods from discourse analysis, the study of political myths, narratology and psychoanalysis. The European Neighbourhood Policy is studied in detail, with a focus on the dynamic challenges that ensue when grand ideological statements have to be implemented in a concrete and specific context.
