Reviews
“All chapters are written by well known scholars who have followed the Service since its inception. … Given the style and level of detail, the book will certainly be of interest to scholars, practitioners and students who want to know more about the creation of the EEAS and possible developments, but above all about what the EEAS is today.” (Lorenzo Vai, The International Spectator, Vol. 52 (4), 2017)
“The book covers the whole gamut of the EEAS’s activities, starting from its institutional position within the EU framework and touching upon the legal implications of its evolution, its role in multilateral forums, its bilateral activities and its recruitment and training practices. … This book is therefore an essential and illuminating reading for any scholar willing to explore the future developments of the EEAS.” (Marco Rossi, JCMS Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (6), 2016)
"The wide range of academic and practical experience in this comprehensive examination of the EEAS makes an important contribution to understanding its creation, organisation, principles and practice. This is all the more timely as the EEAS faces challenges abroad and also at home from member states' willingness to give the supportessential for an effective EU foreign and security policy." - Sir Brian Crowe, former Director General for External and Politico-Military Affairs, Council of the European Union (General Secretariat)
