Europe and the Arab States

by Alun Jones

Published 15 July 2006
This book identifies the key drivers of the EU's external relations policy towards the Arab states in the Mediterranean region, and assesses the EU's scope to implement a coherent and coordinated policy towards the Arab states in what is a highly disparate political and economic region. The author evaluates whether the EU can create an enduring partnership with the Arab states and determines whether EuroMed can serve as a crucible for EU politico-economic engagement with the Islamic world.

Europe and Europeanization

by Alun Jones and Julian Clark

Published 1 December 2009
This study critically analyses the elusive concept of Europeanization as a decision-making process with particular governing logics that both support and, paradoxically undermine the 'European political project'. Serving as a valuable reference for academic and graduate audiences in political science, international and European studies; this book offers an incisive empirically grounded appraisal of the unseen policy dynamics at work in the European Union of the 21st century.
