Europe, a civilian power?

About this book

"What is the European Union international role and identity becoming after the Cold War, 11 September and the transatlantic rift? Is a second global actor challenging the trend towards a pax-americana? Europe: a Civilian Power? provides an original account of the features and external relations of the EU as a civilian power in the making. It addresses key questions on the new security threat, world emergencies challenging the EU not only as a peace and democracy stabilizer on a continental scale, but also as an actor which shares responsibility for global governance and world order."--Jacket.
