I Am My Own Worst Enemy: Problems And Possibilities Of European Foreign, Eric A. Engle

The paper elaborates this thesis by considering institutional actors and historical experiences. Thus, it provides an overview of the institutional structure of the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy, as well as an overview of historic experiences of EC foreign policy.
