International Relations: A European Perspective
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less …
(John Donne, ‘Meditation XVII’, 1624)
Europe, because of its very disorder, has need of Britain; and wretched as this continent may seem, it is certain that Britain will not find salvation apart from Europe … The facts affirm that, for better or worse, Britain and Europe are bound up together. It may seem an unfortunate marriage. But as one of our moralists said: marriage may sometimes be good but never delightful. As our marriage is not a delightful one, let us try at least to make it a good one, since divorce is out of the question.
(Albert Camus, The Listener, vol. 36, no. 1186, November 22 1951)

International Relations: A European Perspective presents the main schools of international relations while underlining the added value of the European approach.
Contrary to US or East Asian perspectives, a European viewpoint adopts a critical approach to traditional cleavages.
The author demonstrates the added value of a European approach to international relations, taking into account both the shortcomings and achievements found within European history and current European unity.
This title includes such key themes as: the evolution of state sovereignty, regional cooperation between previous enemies, political impact of economic integration, regimes building, international rule setting, institutionalization of international relations, and the weight of ideas and perceptions by transnational cooperation.
This comprehensive assessment takes into consideration every school of international relations critically presented from this original perspective and as such makes the book ideal for courses on international relations.
