EU’s effectiveness in multilateral negotiations

27 May 2013 - 13:32

This book by Louise van Schaik analyses the relationship between EU unity and its effectiveness in multilateral negotiations on food standards, climate change and public health.

It challenges the assumption that more unity will automatically lead to increased negotiating power. Based on rich empirical case studies, academic and policy relevant conclusions are made on the added value of increased cooperation between states in multilateral negotiations, and conditions influencing the EU's effectiveness in these negotiations.
