This book provides a new analytical framework that investigates the way in which the EU changes its foreign policy after crisis. Adapting existing theorising of foreign policy change to a single framework applicable to the EU context, Ikani provides a toolbox to explain the process of change and measure the policy change that follows. The framework is developed through an examination of two important EU foreign policy change episodes (post-Arab uprisings and post-Ukraine invasion), and test-driven in three recent cases of EU foreign policy change after crisis.

The volume presents a novel typology of EU foreign policy change, advancing the fields of foreign policy analysis, public policy studies and International Relations. It explains both the decision-making process leading to policy change, and the variation in change outcomes following this process.

Reviews for Crisis and Change in European Union Foreign Policy: A Framework of Eu Foreign Policy Change

'The book provides a timely analysis of the impact of crisis on EU foreign policy and the ENP. [...] For academics interested in the details of foreign policy change, this book is a welcome contribution that challenges thin conceptualizations of this phenomenon as a cumulative process. And for policy-makers who are unsure how to deal with today's challenges in the EU's neighbourhood, this book is a useful reflection upon past decisions. Ikani recognizes the opportunities and constraints of the institutional and temporal factors and encourages policy-makers to actively shape the substance and direction of change in the future.'
