The European Union as a Global Conflict Manager

In recent years the European Union has played an increasingly important role as a manager of global confl icts. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of how the EU has performed in facilitating mediation, confl ict resolution and peacebuilding across the globe.

Offering an accessible introduction to the theories, processes and practice of the EU s role in managing confl ict, the book features a broad range of case studies from Europe, Asia and Africa and examines both institutional and policy aspects of EU conflict management.

Drawing together a wide range of expert contributors, this volume will be of great interest to students of European Foreign Policy, the EU as a global actor and confl ict resolution and management.

Richard G. Whitman is Professor of Politics and International Relations in the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent, UK.

Stefan Wolff is Professor of International Security at the University of Birmingham, UK, and a Member of the Advisory Council of the European Centre for Minority Issues.
