’As the European Union seeks to position itself as a distinct global actor, understanding the workings of an emergent European diplomacy is crucial for scholars and policy-makers alike. Through its critical evaluation of what the Europeanization of diplomacy means in practice - and especially how it is being perceived by one of Europe’s most important partners - Bachmann’s book offers a fascinating insight.’ Luiza Bialasiewicz, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands ’This major contribution to critical geopolitics breaks new grounds with an empirically rich account of the making of EU diplomacy in Nairobi. It effectively decentres the analysis of the newly established European External Action Service (EEAS) through participant observation at the EU Delegation and interviews with members of the local diplomatic corps about their perception of the EU and their expectations.’ Virginie Mamadouh, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
