Global Perspectives on Europe

This volume is dedicated to how "Europe" is seen from outside. Bringing together external perspectives on Europe and the European Union from five continents, its aim is to assess the region's current international position, its credibility as an international player, and its reach and impact beyond its borders. From their different backgrounds: politics, sociology, economy, history, and education, the authors use case studies to present their research and, mostly critical, points of view on the entanglement of Europe with the rest of the world.
