The European Union and Global Governance

"Everything you need to know and more about the European Union’s role as a global actor appears in this rich collection of essays. The volume provides insights from multiple disciplines into what the EU does, how it does it, why it does it, and where it succeeds or fails in a vast range of areas. The authors are among the best scholars of the EU, lending great credit to the institution to which most are attached, the Université Libre de Bruxelles".

Vivien A. Schmidt, Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration, Boston University

"The European Union and Global Governance is an admirably comprehensive volume about the EU's intricate relationship with structures and processes of global governance. It covers a wide range of policy- and issue-areas, including monetary policy, foreign and defence policy, environmental policy, competition regulation, trade policy, and immigration policy. The contributors illustrate the EU's actual and potential impact on global governance, but also the constraints and limits to that influence. Tensions between the regional and multilateral levels of governance are laid out, and the challenges facing the EU such as promoting IMF reform or mitigating climate change are presented without minimizing the enormity of the tasks ahead".

"Professor Telò and his colleagues provide a grand illumination of one of the central issues of world politics in this era of change, namely the emerging role of the European Union has a provider of global governance. The chapters offer impressive insights into the ways and means of EU leadership in a wide range of realms. The result is a portrait of the EU on the world stage that will surprise and enlighten students and experts alike."
