The European Union's Nuclear Non–proliferation Policy (Trends and Perspectives in International Politics)

non-proliferation and assesses its performance and external challenges. The introductory
section delves into current academic scholarship, elucidating the concepts of contestation and
performance. The second section provides an overview of the historical and institutional
evolution, and the third scrutinises the performance. The final section examines present policy,
with case studies on the EU's bilateral relations with Iran and India. Adopting a focus on both
the development and performance of the EU's non-proliferation and disarmament policy, as
well as its contestation from non-Western countries, this book provides a solid and innovative
contribution to existing debates on both the EU's non-proliferation and foreign policy. The
book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and practitioners of International Relations, European
Union Studies, and Nuclear Non-proliferation, as it provides an analysis of the intricacy of the
EU's non-proliferation policy, offering fresh perspectives and empirical evidence.
