The book examines United States-European Community relations at a critical juncture in international relations. It analyses the varied forms of interdependence that constrain their relations, and it considers how far the current management of their relations is at variance with the reality of changing conditions.The book confronts the problem of how to analyse such a complex set of relations as those which exist between the United States and the European Community. It takes as its main theoretical foundation the concept of interdependence, and it relates this to the political, economic and social dimensions of US-EC relations.The policy dimension of the book highlights the dilemma on the current US-EC agenda: that is, to assess the impact on their bilateral relations of the changed global and trans-Atlantic conditions of the 1980s and 1990s, and to make the necessary strategic changes. The opportunity exists for the most far-reaching revision of their relations in over forty years.

The European Union in International Politics: Baptism by Fire (The New International Relations of Europe)

<p>As the world looks to Europe to take on more responsibility in international politics and security in the devastating aftermath of Bosnia and Kosovo, this pathbreaking book provides the first systematic evaluation of the political impact of the European Union (EU) on a global scale. Little is known of the EU's international political influence, yet if the EU is to develop a viable Common Foreign and Security Policy, other actors will have to perceive the Union as an important player. Roy Ginsberg fills this vital gap by first linking the contexts and sources of EU foreign policy actions with the processes and outputs of decisionmaking and then examining how outsiders view the EU. Combining a masterly synthesis of the literature with invaluable primary interviews and case studies that document the reach of and limits to the EU's political influence, Ginsberg takes the study of EU foreign policy to a new level of analysis. By defining, describing, and explaining the different levels and degrees of external political impact, the book serves as a model for the advancement of conceptual knowledge, rigorous political science research, and state-of-the-art survey techniques and methodology. Scholars, students, and practitioners alike will find this rounded and nuanced work indispensable for understanding EU involvement in international politics seen from the perspective of non-EU players, particularly after the war in Kosovo; the enactment of the Treaty of Amsterdam; the Irish 'no' vote for the Treaty of Nice; and the efforts forged by the Europeans to operationalize the new political, security, and military committees associated with the European Security and Defense Policy.</p>
