Making of EU Foreign Policy

KAREN E. SMITH is a Lecturer in the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics. She was a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.

'Smith has produced an extremely useful, and insightful, study of European Union policy towards Eastern europe since the late 1980s...Smith's account is particularly strong in illustrating how EU policy objectives changed across time and policy instruments evolved to reflect policy revisions.' - Richard G. Whitman, Political Studies '...an invaluable contribution to the field.' - Jakob C. Ohrgaard, Millennium '...a remarkably comprehensive monograph... I would highly recommend this book to policymakers and all those who deal directly with these matters, as a bureaucratic history and desk reference. It will also be useful as background reading for undergraduate and graduate courses on issues of EU foreign policy, aid, and accession. Its clear style of presentation and evenhanded, objective approach eminently suit these purposes.' - Mitchell A. Orenstein, International Studies Review
