Is the European Union a unified actor in world politics? The world's leading economic power is still struggling to find its role in shaping and maintaining global peace, free trade and commerce. How successful is the EU´s Common Foreign and Security Policy and its institutions really?

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis Germany became Europe's most influential nation state. This book aims to provide a comparative assessment of how this is reflected in the country's bilateral security relationships with key global and regional partners. Prepared by an international team of scholars, it offers unique, in-depth perspectives on the ways these evolving interactions affect the prospects for addressing recent and emerging security challenges.

The fully updated new edition of this popular text provides a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the main areas of activity of the United Nations today, its organization and evolution and assesses its likely role and prospects for reform in the twenty-first century.
