The EU in Association Agreement NegotiationsChallenges to Complex Policy Coordination\nAuthor(s): Daniel Schade\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367321161, 978-0367321161\nSynopsis\nThrough its focus on EU Association Agreement negotiations, this book goes beyond the study of traditional EU trade negotiations and puts the spotlight on the increasing number of negotiations where trade relations are discussed alongside political ones. This setting makes both the negotiations themselves and the definition of the EUs positions more complicated, raising the question as to what ultimately determines the EUs behaviour in such complex negotiations spanning multiple of the EUs policy areas. \n\nOffering a generalizable analytical model to study such complex EU international negotiations, the book illuminates the preferences and interactions between individual parts of the EUs foreign affairs bureaucracy, and those between.
