Synopsis

In the post-9/11 era, the EU has attempted to shape itself into, and certainly has aspirations of being, a key foreign and security policy actor in international politics. Here, Taylan Özgür Kaya looks at how this is enacted, with particular reference to the EU's role in the Middle East Peace Process. Expanding its political, diplomatic, economic and security role in the region, the EU, whilst still being the junior partner to the US, has increasingly played a more conspicuous role in the attempts to resolve (or at least mediate) conflict in the Middle East. Bearing this in mind, Kaya examines to what extent the EU manages to live up to its self-image as a key player in conflict resolution and crisis management in the region and beyond. With the future of the EU ever more in the spotlight, this book will appeal both to researchers of the Peace Process and to policy-makers in the EU.
