Written by Professor Ben Tonra, this book examines whether the development of foreign and security policy cooperation within the European Union (EU) has restricted or benefitted Danish, Dutch and Irish foreign policy and analyses the policies of these three countries prior to their participation in foreign policy cooperation, and their input into a collective EU policy in three case studies (the Middle East, South Africa, Yugoslavia/Bosnia). He argues that some level of Europeanization has occurred, and suggests the direction in which this process of Europeanization of member states may be headed.
