EU FOREIGN AND INTERIOR POLICIES: CROSS-PILLAR POLITICS AND THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF SOVEREIGNTY

"This book offers an innovative theoretical and empirical analysis of integration in EU foreign and interior policies across the three pillars, from the Maastricht Treaty to the Treaty of Nice." "The establishment of the three-pillar structure in the Maastricht Treaty has been one of the key transformations of European governance. This divided EU policies into three main areas: European Community, Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and Justice and Home Affairs (JHA)." "Offering a fresh approach to understanding and analysing policy-making in the context of an integrating EU, this book will appeal to scholars and researchers interested in International Relations, European Union Politics and Middle East Studies."--BOOK JACKET.
