Description
This book analyses the European Union's (EU) role in conflict resolution and reconciliation in Europe. It argues that the evolution of the policy mix, resources, framing influences and political opportunities - through which European integration affects conflicts and processes of conflict resolution - demonstrates a historical trend through which the EU has become an indispensable factor of conflict resolution.
It begins by examining policy-making at the European level for the management of particular sectors such as early integration in the European Coal and Steel Community, before analysing the function of core EU policies (Northern Ireland), the challenges of enlargement (Cyprus) and the European perspective for the Western Balkans (Kosovo).
The book will be of value to academics and non-expert observers alike with an interest in European integration and peace studies.
