“European Foreign Policy”

For all those who may have problems understanding what European foreign policy represents, its institutional circuit, the establishment of the European External Action Service, this little book published in the Que Sais-Je collection is essential. But, apart from the classic data (history, instruments, organization...), it also addresses the question of the philosophy of foreign policy, its difficulties, its favorite fields, its reluctance to address the balance of power and to defend its "interests" which is the objective of a foreign policy. In this, this small work gives many elements of reflection and tracks of debates, with the manner of an essay. This is essentially due to the pedagogical virtues of its author, diplomat, teacher at Sciences Po and ENA
