EU Foreign Policymaking and the
Middle East Conflict

This book examines the interplay between the national and the European levels in EU foreign policymaking, focusing on the Middle East.

European engagement in peacemaking in the Middle East dates back to foreign-policy cooperation in the early 1970s. Following the launch of the peace process in 1991, the EU and its Member States further stepped up their involvement in conflict resolution, focusing on one central area the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. This book covers the period from the beginning of the peace process in 1991 until 2008, and focuses on the actions of the big-three Member States: Germany, France and the UK.

Using the Europeanization concept as framework of analysis, the book examines the problematic dynamics between these Member States national foreign-policy models and the construction of a common European conflict-resolution policy. It also provides interesting new insights into the EU's inter national role and potential, addressing the often neglected question of how Europeanization effects help to mitigate some of the classical limitations of European foreign policymaking.

The book will be of great interest to students of EU policy, Middle Eastern politics, peace and conflict resolution, security studies and IR.

Acknowledgements

Examining European foreign policymaking toward the IsraeliPalestinian conflict has been an interesting and challenging undertaking. My interest in the role of the EU in Middle East peacemaking goes back to an experience of working in Jerusalem in the period 20024. I am very grateful for the intellectual exchanges, political and cultural insights and friendship I experienced during my stay.

Numerous individuals and institutions have provided advice, encouragement and sup port to make this research project feasible. The doctoral programme at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) in Vienna, then run by Gerda Falkner, provided me with the opportunity to discuss and develop my ideas. My fellow PhD scholars at the IHS have been a great source of sup port. I also want to thank Helmut Kramer, Oliver Treib, Jozef Btara, Fritz Scharpf, James Caporaso, David Allen, Michael Smith and Paul Pierson for their feedback. My works also greatly benefited from the TAPIR- Post Doc Fellowship that sup ported my research stays at the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP), the Institut Franais des Relations Internationales (IFRI) and the Center for Transatlantic Relations (SAIS) at the Johns Hopkins University. I am particularly thankful to Volker Perthes, Muriel Asseburg, Alfred Tovias and Alfred Pijpers for comments on related works. Victor Mauer, Andreas Wenger and Daniel Mckli from the Center of Security Studies (CSS) deserve special thanks for sup porting the publication of this book and for their comments and advice.

I want to thank my family and friends for their encouragement and sup port, who will be happy that this project comes to a productive conclusion and Miren for every thing and much more.
