European Union Foreign Policy [electronic resource] : From Effectiveness to Functionality /
Bickerton, C.author.

This book explains this weakness by arguing that EU foreign policy is burdened by various internal functions, and systemizes the analysis of internal functionality, pushing the study beyond the concern with effectiveness.
