Rezensionen

"This is an exceptionally well-researched and rigorous study of one of the key elements in the development of the EU's foreign and security policies. It sets up a clear framework for the study of policy-making using a rationalist institutionalist perspective, and applies it systematically to a range of EU missions in Europe, Asia and Africa. The result is a key text in the study of EU foreign policy-making and implementation." - Michael H. Smith, Jean Monnet Professor of European Politics, Department of Politics, History and International Relations, Loughborough University, UK "In this fine book, Hylke Dijkstra offers the most systematic analysis so far of the influence exerted by EU officials in security and defense policy. Based on principal-agent theory and impressive empirical material, Dijkstra explores why states have delegated power to the EU in this sensitive domain, and how EU officials succeed in making their mark on EU foreign policy." - Jonas Tallberg, Professor of Political Science, Department of Political Science, Stockholm University, Sweden "Hylke Dijkstra guides the reader expertly through the institutional and procedural vagaries of Europe's security and defense policy" - Sven Biscop, Director of the 'Europe in the World Programme', Egmont Institute, Belgium
