The European Union's Roles in International Politics
This volume sets out explicitly and systematically to bring together the two strands of political science– the study of the EU’s international activities, and IR theory – and thus to make a significant original contribution to a developing literature. It provides both a conceptual and empirical argument, the volume provides an innovative perspective on the analysis of the European Union as an international actor, and on the ways in which EU actions are formed and have impact. The volume deals with a number of topical issues in such areas as human rights, global governance and the roles of international organizations. It offers a research agenda based on rigorous development of the framework for role analysis, and demonstrates the ways in which this agenda might be furthered.
Inside the Mind of a Voter
An in-depth look into the psychology of voters around the world, how voters shape elections, and how elections transform citizens and affect their lives Could understanding whether elections make people happy and bring them closure matter more than who they vote for?

Perceptions and Policy in Transatlantic Relations
In this book, experts from both sides of the Atlantic, examine the recent tensions between Western Europe and the United States over such issues as transatlantic security, policies towards terrorism and relations with Russia and the former Soviet Union, against the broader background of perceptions and misperceptions in transatlantic relations. Drawing on Professor Robert Jervis’ work, Perceptions and Misperceptions in International Politics, this book examines whether Jervis’ thesis has a new relevance given the current challenges in transatlantic relations. Some of the issues examined include: perceptions and misperceptions in general focusing on US foreign policy, issues of decision-m...

Handbook on the European Union and Brexit
Brexit has irrevocably transformed British politics, yet its effects are not confined to relations between the UK and the EU. Venturing beyond the already vast literature on Brexit, this dynamic Handbook explores the implications of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU for the EU itself, single countries within and beyond Europe, and the international system, as well as different social groups, generations, and territories within the UK.
Handbook on the EU and International Trade
The Handbook on the EU and International Trade presents a multidisciplinary overview of the major perspectives, actors and issues in contemporary EU trade relations. Changes in institutional dynamics, Brexit, the politicisation of trade, competing foreign policy agendas, and adaptation to trade patterns of value chains and the digital and knowledge economy are reshaping the European Union's trade policy. The authors tackle how these challenges frame the aims, processes and effectiveness of trade policy making in the context of the EU's trade relations with developed, developing and emerging states in the global economy.

Allies Or Adversaries?
Beginning with Sir Michael Palliser in 1985 and concluding with Secretary General of NATO Manfred Worner in 1992, the distinguished Spaak Lectures included in this volume have addressed the fundamental questions of international politics: What is the nature of national power and influence and what are the limitations on American influence in particular? What role can Europe play in a world of changing power relationships? How will Europe react to the political, economic, social, and security challenges that have been thrust upon it in recent times? How much should Europe and the United States seek to integrate and contain Germany? Other contributors include Karl Otto Pohl, Filipe Gonzalez, Raymond Barre, Frans Andriessen, and Jiri Dienstbier. Supplemented with an introductory chapter by Richard C. Eichenberg and the transcript of the Spaak Conference held in Brussels in October 1991, this book will enrich scholars or indeed anyone seeking a deeper understanding of U.S.-European relations. Co-published with the Center for International Affairs, Harvard University.
