EU internal security concerns such as migration, police and judicial cooperation are today part of EU foreign policy. This book shows how those concerns dominate the EU agenda towards Mediterranean countries. Adopting a rational-choice institutionalist approach, it explores EU policy and the strategic choices made after the 2011 Arab revolts.
Sarah Wolff is Lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London, and Senior Research Associate Fellow at The Netherlands Institute for International Relations. Her research focuses on justice and home affairs and EU external relations, in particular with Mediterranean countries. She is also Visiting Lecturer on the external dimension of EU migration policies at the University of Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.
