Drawing on official documents and extensive interviews with key policymakers, Youngs assesses EU policies implemented throughout the Middle East: in Iraq, Iran, the Maghreb and Mashreq, the Palestinian Territories, the Gulf states, and Turkey. His analysis sheds light not only on the EU's strengths and weaknesses as an international actor, but also on the impact of external factors on political change and on the hotly debated topic of the relationship between democracy and security.

"A definitive work, timely and insightful, on the evolution of the EU's and its member states' policies toward the Middle East."—Robert Springborg, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)
