'This timely book tackles the crucial issue of European security in the neighbourhood with analytical sophistication, originality and a wealth of empirical material. A must read for anybody interested in practice approaches, security, European foreign policy and the future of the Mediterranean.' -- Federica Bicchi, London School of Economics, UK
'Niklas Bremberg’s fascinating book breaks new ground in the study of the European Union in security community-building by arguing that the EU’s enlargement process creates a dynamic relationship between community-building and boundary-building. The book’s unique contribution is its rich, detailed study of the post-Cold War evolution of Spanish-Moroccan diplomatic relations within the context of a highly-original use of practice theory in the EU’s crisis management in the Western Mediterranean.’ -- Ian Manners, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
