Since its creation, the European Union (EU) has been a participant
in the activities of other International Organisations (IOs) or has
been working together with them. Still, little information is
available on what this long-term involvement with(in) IOs means for
International Relations and European Studies. Why has the EU been
involved with(in) IOs on such a long-term basis? How? With what
impact? These three key research questions are addressed in this
innovative volume, in a bid to explore the continuity of EU action
with(in) IOs. While written by a diversity of authors (from
European Studies or from International Relations, Europeans or
non-Europeans) and from a diversity of disciplines (in particular
Law and Political Science), each chapter of the volume elaborates
on three common political concepts derived from three-fold
questioning: commitment (for the why question), consistency (for
the how question), and effects (for the question of impact).
Consisting of a two part structure, the book is focussed in Part I
on more general trends of the EU's long-term participation with(in)
IOs - with contributions by A.Wetzel, P.Debaere, F.De Ville,
J.Orbie, B.Saenen and J.Verschaeve, and P. Nedergaard and
M.D.Jensen - and in Part II on more precise case studies on labour
standards, public services, flexicurity, human trafficking and
security - with contributions by R.Kissack, A.Crespy,
E.Xiarchogiannopoulou and D.Tsarouhas, B.Simmons and A.DiSilvestro,
and N. Graeger. Highly useful for students, academics and experts,
this volume combines a clear and easy-to-use framework with new
empirical data.
