Crisis and change in European Union foreign policy

<p>This book provides a new analytical framework that investigates the way in which the EU changes its foreign policy after crisis. Adapting existing theorising of foreign policy change to a single framework applicable to the EU context Ikani provides a toolbox to explain the process of change and measure the policy change that follows. The framework is developed through an examination of two important EU foreign policy change episodes (post-Arab uprisings and post-Ukraine invasion) and test-driven in three recent cases of EU foreign policy change after crisis.<br> The volume presents a novel typology of EU foreign policy change advancing the fields of foreign policy analysis public policy studies and International Relations. It explains both the decision-making process leading to policy change and the variation in change outcomes following this process.</p>
