Edited by Ulrich Krotz, Kiran Klaus Patel and Federico Romero"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

This thought-provoking collection analyses the European Community’s external relations between 1957 and 1992, with a particular focus upon their broader impact and global significance. Reconceptualizing the long arc of the EC’s international role, from its inception in the 1950s to the end of the Cold War, the chapters identify and assess the factors that either supported or impeded Europe’s international projection within this period.

Organized into three parts, the authors investigate the EC’s relations with key countries and world regions, discuss its activities within key policy areas, and offer reflections and conclusions on the various arguments that are put forward. Each chapter considers the entire period from 1957-1992 to identify and explain overarching trends, key decisions and historical conjunctions through scholarly literature, key debates and original discussion of each topic or policy issue. A final chapter situates the main findings within wider contexts, situating the EC in Cold War history. Bringing together international history and international relations, this project allows for cross-disciplinary dialogue and the careful discussion of key concepts, analytical approaches, and empirical findings. Filling a gap in our understanding of the early development of the EC’s role as an autonomous global actor, this book holds important messages for the modern day, as the EU’s position in global politics continues to shape the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
