Explaining the European Union's foreign policy
The basic premise of this ambitious book is that we know little of why the EU acts the way it does internationally, and current theoretical debates do little to help. To remedy this, Magnus Ekengren proposes ‘a practice theory of translocal action’ as the way forward. Practice theory, originating in sociology, and especially the work of Pierre Bourdieu, he argues, can help us overcome the ‘superficial representations of interests and norms’ which…
Framing the EU Global Strategy
The EU's foreign, security and defence policy has been a desolate space in the last few years in terms of innovation and development, as well as being bereft of purpose, vision and unity. The two recent and bright exceptions are the EU Global Strategy (EUGS), published in June 2017, and more recently the activation of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) in the field of defence in December 2017. Framing the EU Global Strategy is a revealing, …

Pre‐Accession Europeanization
This article argues that there is much confusion surrounding Serbia's landmark decision to engage in a process of normalization with Kosovo. Rather than undergoing a process of Europeanization, whereby a fundamental transformation in the underlying rationale and processes of decision‐making occurred, as some have argued, the changes in Serbia's policy are in fact based on material concerns. By tracing relations in the EU‐Serbia‐Kosovo triangle, t…
Standards before Status before Accession
Although Kosovo has been recognized by most members of the European Union, there are still five states that refuse to accept its unilateral declaration of independence. Kosovo's ‘European perspective’ would therefore appear to be hampered by its contested status. However, this paper argues that while the dispute over its independence is significant, and certainly makes establishing relations with the EU more difficult than might otherwise have be…
Kosovo
The recent opinion by the International Court of Justice on the legality of Kosovo's declaration of independence has not provided a definitive answer to Kosovo's status. The International community remains divided. For this reason, a political solution will need to be found. Possible scenarios for the future of Kosovo include continuation of the status quo; enforcing Pristina's full authority across all of Kosovo; partition or partial territorial…

The International Criminal Court
The International Criminal Court (ICC) came into effect on 1 July 2002. This article gives an account of the historical background to the ICC and an overview of the Court's Statute, remit and powers. It is argued that the ICC is a highly politicized legal institution which will only be effective through inter-state cooperation. Despite its lengthy historical antecedents and legal precedents, prudence suggests that — due to the nature of internati…
