{"product_id":"the-eus-role-in-world-richard-youngs-9780415583688","title":"The Eu's Role in World Politics: A Retreat from Liberal Internationalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eDebates on EU foreign policy have been dominated by two opposing schools of argument. One includes a broad range of work that extols the virtues of a European liberal concept of power and the other sees the EU's commitment to cosmopolitan liberalism and soft power as a sign of weakness rather than strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book judges the EU on its own terms as a liberal power, examining its policy record, rather than simply asserting that the EU's liberal commitments in themselves denote either a superior or inferior foreign policy approach. Youngs argues that the challenges facing Europe's role in the world appear to be in its retreat from liberal internationalism through a series of case studies on policy areas: trade, multilateral diplomacy, security, development cooperation, democracy and human rights, and energy security. Presenting detailed evidence that show the EU is moving away from cosmopolitan strategy, Youngs asserts that Europe needs to reassess its foreign policies if it is to defend the kind of liberal world order necessary for its own and other countries' long term interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of strong interest to students and scholars of European politics, Foreign Policy and International Relations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Youngs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415583683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415583688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Richard Youngs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112751051007,"sku":"9780415583688","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e5e2227-dc97-4c87-8dac-59b163f3e9ec.jpg?v=1769610693","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-eus-role-in-world-richard-youngs-9780415583688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
