Welcome to Exploring EU Foreign Policy
This online resource guide for researchers, practitioners and students is a comprehensive guide through the maze of information sources on EU foreign policy. It also serves as a website companion to the book The Foreign Policy of the European Union by Stephan Keukeleire and Jennifer MacNaughtan (Palgrave 2008).
The resources are structured thematically. Every section and sub-section in the left side bar or header offers the following:
- Official EU documents and links
- Links to other organizations, NGO’s and think tanks
- Academic references
This website companion also offers the following educational material:
- PowerPoint presentations for each chapter of the book
- Updated figures and tables on EU foreign policy
- Resources and further reading for class work, papers and dissertations
This website is a Jean Monnet Action and has received funding from the European Community. It has been developed under the Jean Monnet Chair on 'European Integration and European Foreign Policy' (2006-2009) and further elaborated under the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on 'the European Union, Foreign Policy and Global Governance' (2008-2011).
