The European Union’s Approach to Conflict Resolution: Transformation or Regulation in the Western Balkans?: Routledge Studies in European Foreign Policy

Autor Laurence Cooley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2020
This book investigates and explains the European Union’s approach to conflict resolution in three countries of the Western Balkans: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Kosovo. In doing so, it critically interrogates claims that the EU acts as an agent of conflict transformation in its engagement with conflict-affected states. The book argues, contrary to the assumptions of much of the existing literature, that rather than seeking the transformation of conflicts, the EU pursues a more conservative strategy based on the regulation of conflict through the promotion of institutional mechanisms such as consociational power sharing and decentralisation.


Drawing on discourse analysis of documents, speeches, and interviews conducted by the author with European Union officials and policy-makers in Brussels and the case-study countries, the book offers a theoretically grounded, methodologically rigorous and empirically detailed analysis of EU policy preferences, of the ideas that underpin them, and of how those preferences are legitimised.


This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners interested in ethnic conflict and conflict resolution, the politics of the Balkans, and the external and foreign policies of the EU.

Recenzii

"Cooley's book is interesting for scholars of EU foreign affairs, EU enlargement and those interested in the Western Balkans. It is relevant and useful to academics, policy‐makers and postgraduate students interested in the region. It discusses an important issue and thereby makes a significant contribution to the literature by highlighting how the role of the EU in conflict resolution in the Balkans has focused on consociational arrangements."
Soeren Keil, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 58, Issue 1, 2020
