"What are the achievements, limits and failures of the EU's involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict? Why has the EU been unable to develop an autonomous and effective policy towards the conflict, despite its efforts and the inordinate amount of time and resources it has committed over the years? Costanza Musu sets out to answer these questions by analysing the development of European policy towards the conflict over the past forty years and focusing in particular on three aspects: the convergence among EU member state policies; the development of the EU's foreign policy instruments and the complex dynamics of EU-US relations in the Middle East." "European Union Policy Towards the Arab-Israeli Peace Process will be of interest to readers who wish to acquire a deep understanding of the EU's policy towards a conflict that has proved intractable for over sixty years and that destabilizes a region of crucial importance for the European Union."--BOOK JACKET.
