Product Description
by Isaac Freeman (Author)
The research presented in this book focuses on the attempt of the European Union (EU) to create a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), which will strengthen the integration and cohesion of its member states. For more than two decades this attempt was unsuccessful. By studying the context of the Outermost Regions (OMRs) and the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) of the union, both the problems and the solutions to this deficiency could be exposed. Conflicts of national and EU level interest are intensified when foreign policy and especially security policy is in question. The case of the ultraperipheral regions and territories of the EU can reveal who are the main actors in this arena, what are their political objectives and how cooperation could benefit all parties involved.
