'This pioneering overview of the European Union's (EU's) hybrid and multi-level system of diplomacy is written for and by scholars as well as practitioners. Covering EU representation in a broad range of world regions, international forums and burning issue areas, the contributions not only analyse in depth the challenges facing EU diplomacy, but also offer useful suggestions for future improvements.' - Christer Jonsson, Professor Emeritus, Lund University, Sweden 'Relatively little is known about the processes, policies and outcomes of the EU's diplomatic action. This volume is a worthy attempt to address these lacunae. Contributions from seasoned academics and practitioners ensure its relevance and timeliness across an engaging selection of foreign policy fields. For anyone interested in the scope, nature and impact of the EU in the world, this is a 'must-read. - Simon Duke, Professor at the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA), Maastricht, Netherlands 'Written by a team of leading scholars and practitioners, this is a refreshing account of the EU as a diplomatic actor. Mixing empirical data with theory, it opens the black box of the EU foreign policy-making and provides new food for thought about the diplomatic challenges of a non-statist polity.' - Christian Lequesne, Professor at CERI and Sciences Po, Paris
