MACMILLAN The High Representative and EU Foreign Policy Integration: A Comparative Study of Kosovo and Ukraine (European Administrative Governance)

Adopting a broad conceptualization of foreign and security policy, the book examines the role of the High Representative as chair of the Foreign Affairs Council and in her/his capacity as Vice President of the European Commission to assess different patterns of integrated efforts in EU foreign and security policies. In this way, it presents a new perspective from which institutional practices in this specific area can be examined. This contribution is particularly valuable for scholars and students of EU foreign and security policy; of external relations of the EU; of international relations more in general; and of EU integration and politics. At the same time, the book contributes to the empirical understanding of two EU policies that have recently been at the centre of the debate among scholars, policy analysts and practitioners, namely the EU enlargement towards the Western Balkans and the EU Neighborhood Policy and Eastern Partnership.                                        Review “This will serve well both students and scholars of European integration, and practitioners interested in understanding more about EU foreign policy dynamics. … Amadio Viceré’s book is a must-read for all researchers who wish to explore in more depth recent institutional initiatives, such as Mogherini’s EU Global Strategy or the establishment of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) in Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) by using an original analytical framework that goes beyond the supranational-intergovernmental dichotomy.” (Giulia Tercovich, The International Spectator, Vol. 54 (4), 2019) Review “This is a timely and important work of comparative foreign policy with skilful applications of the actions of the High Representative of the EU regarding Kosovo and Ukraine. This excellent book should be read by all interested in foreign policy, international relations, and the EU.” (James Caporaso, University of Washington, Seattle, USA) “Those interested in how the institutional structure introduced by the Lisbon treaty has impacted foreign and security policies could do no better than to start with this book. It clearly explains the role of the EU’s ‘High Representative’ in shaping these policies, and hence European integration.” (Anand Menon, King’s College London, UK) “This book provides a thorough account of the role of the EU High Representative in European foreign policy. Through rigorous case study analysis and the careful tracing of developments since the Lisbon Treaty ‘s entry into force, Amadio fills a critical gap in the literature on European foreign policy,in a must read by all students and scholars of European integration.” (Nathalie Tocci, University of Tübingen, Germany, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali and Special Adviser to EU HRVP Federica Mogherini) From the Back Cover Adopting a broad conceptualization of foreign and security policy, the book examines the role of the High Representative as chair of the Foreign Affairs Council and in her/his capacity as Vice President of the European Commission to assess different patterns of integrated efforts in EU foreign and security policies.
