Examining Adaptation (e-book) (used book) | Lynne Dryburgh | bookbook.eu

Description

Recent years have seen the publication of several analyses of the relationship between EU foreign, security and defence policies and those of the minor member states. Although varied in their conclusions on the impact on the minor member states, they are united in one assumption: that the effects of EU-level developments will be fewer amongst the major member states than amongst the minor ones. This analysis subjects that assumption to detailed empirical investigation through a case-study of the United Kingdom. The resulting analysis provides fresh insights into the relationship of the UK with EU foreign, security and defence policy developments which challenges this common assumption, and offers an innovative analytical framework, offering fresh understandings of the adaptation process.
