    In an incisive and lively discussion International Relations of the EU examines both the economic and security dimensions of European Union external relations.  The book adopts an innovative approach that combines International Relations with International Political Economy.

    Set against a backdrop of EU enlargement and disarray over military intervention in Iraq, International Relations of the EU is a timely contribution to our understanding of the Eu's role as an international actor. 

    The text is suitable for advanced undergraduate courses in Politics and International Relations.
