Representing the European Union in more than 25 countries globally, the EU Special Representatives have become its ‘eyes and ears.’ This study, the first book ever on this topic, presents an in-depth analysis of one of the EU’s most important foreign policy instruments. It is also one of the few publications on Organizational Learning that combine a rigorous theoretical setup with profound empirical research, based on 55 semi-structured interviews with national and European officials and foreign policy experts. This combination of analytical precision and political relevance makes this publication particularly appropriate for academics, policy-makers, students and everyone interested in the EU’s global role.

With a focus on China, the author analyzes the infl uence of interest groups, but also of decision-making procedures on the national and the European level on EU trade and security policy. As the emerging power of the 21st century, China challenges the Europeans economically, politically, and ideologically – in their very identity. How does the European Union react to this challenge? Who decides what kind of policy the European Union will adopt towards China? How are decisions made – and which roles do business interests, the media, or the United States of America play? Based on rational choice and a multi-level approach, this process analysis focuses on decisions in the 2003-5 arms embargo debate and the textile dispute, regarding decisions as ‘building blocks’ for policy. The analysis concludes with concrete policy-recommendations for a successful and farsighted policy of the European Union towards the People’s Republic of China.

NATO and the EU find themselves struggling hard to adjust to the challenges of a post-9-11 world. While trying to find their role in coping with the new threats, NATO and the EU are in the process of setting up a working relationship with each other. One of the strategies both institutions have chosen is promoting stability through enlargement - a strategy that is in return changing the institutions. Beyond enlargement, NATO and the EU are developing strategies that seem to be unrelated as well as parallel to each other: Are they complementary or competitive? Complementary or Competitive?
