Bringing together a stellar line-up of distinguished EU practitioners and LSE faculty members, Martin Westlake's edited collection makes a timely contribution to better understanding the current challenges – and opportunities – for the EU’s external action ten years after the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty. ” —Sieglinde Gstöhl, Director, EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies, College of Europe, Belgium “European foreign policy is a constantly moving object. As such, the perspective of those who practise it daily is key. Through the views of high-level European officials alongside the framing of top academics in the field, this book is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand the complexity of the EU's role in the world.” —Nathalie Tocci, Director, Istituto Affari Internazionali, Italy "The EU is not a foreign policy actor fully formed, but it is one in the making. So far, its record is mixed, and yet the EU’s potential for influence is impressive. The key is to know where to look. Martin Westlake has drawn together an outstanding group of practitioners with a wealth of institutional as well as intellectual experience. Their insights make essential reading for anyone looking to understand the European Union’s world role." —Erik Jones, Professor of European Studies and International Political Economy, and Director of European and Eurasian Studies, Johns Hopkins University, USA This volume brings together senior practitioners and academic specialists to consider how the EU’s new foreign policy has been evolving and how the various actors are maintaining the holistic approach intended by the draftsmen of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty. Martin Westlake is a visiting professor at the European Institute of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK, and at the College of Europe, Belgium. He was David Davies of Llandinam Research Fellow in the Department of International Relations, LSE, 2018-2019. He has published widely on British and EU politics and institutions. .

In the debates about the UK's future relationship with the European Union, all sorts of possible alternatives have been bandied about, from 'Singapore on the Thames' to 'Canada Plus', from 'Switzerland' to 'Ukraine', from 'Norway' to 'Australia'. But what do these alternative relationship models really consist of and would they be viable for the UK?

Martin Westlake brings together distinguished contributors to examine these various options, real and potential, and to consider whether they would offer a workable solution for the continued relationship between the EU and post-Brexit Britain.

These essays offer expert insight into the scale and challenge of the practical issues facing Britain as it seeks to establish a new future with its largest trading partner.
