While celebrating the 63rd anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, the EU has been dealing with ongoing challenges both externally and internally. Those challenges undermine the liberal order of which the EU was once a founder and a guarantor. They have also shaken the ground of EU values such as free trade and liberal democracy. The European Union in a Changing World Order provides analytical insights on how the EU responds to those challenges and what role it should play in the new world order. The book consists of nine chapters written by the authors from different disciplines to analyse the EU's position in various areas such as security and foreign policy, external trade, climate change, migration, populism, the role of the media and fundamental EU values. Each chapter gives an explicit and systematic account of the problem in the related field and offers policy recommendations. This helps the reader to understand the overall picture of the EU's stance as well as the possible solutions for new challenges.

The book starts with an analysis of the coherence, capacity and context of EU foreign and security policy by B. Fägersten. Although the author does not give any new recommendations, his theoretical framework presents a critical point of the current debates on common security and defence policy. The next three chapters explore the trade dimension of the EU, analysing the structural changes in international trade and the sustainability of the EU's free trade agreements. These chapters comprise the most powerful parts of the book as they contextualize their arguments systematically. Chapter 6 points to the variations among member states in climate change policy and sets out a combined policy including different instruments. Likewise, Chapter 7, analysing the effects of migration on European states, proposes an integration policy containing several mechanisms. Using Germany and Sweden as case studies also exemplifies the debate on migration in countries with comprehensive welfare systems and high rates of asylum reception. Chapter 8 analyses the increased mediatization of the EU's foreign and security policy by comparing the 2003 and 2016 EU global strategies. It focuses on the use of the media to increase the legitimacy of the solutions, but it is not clear how the media can be used correctly without putting everything in a security basket. Chapter 9 evaluates populism as a challenge to the EU. Chapter 10 examines whether the existing EU mechanisms for protecting its values are efficient. Concerning their inadequacies, there is a need to prioritize EU values and support institutions to influence the member states that challenge these values.

The book makes a significant contribution to the existing literature by presenting an interdisciplinary analysis of the future of the EU. It also gives comprehensive suggestions for the cohesion, capacity, and autonomous action of the EU. Therefore, it is useful and relevant for both EU scholars and policymakers.

《正在变化的世界秩序中的欧洲联盟:跨学科欧洲研究》,由A.Bakardjieva Engelbrekt,N.Bremberg,A.Michalski和L.Oxelheim编辑(Cham:Springer,2019年,ISBN 9783030180003); xiii + 280pp。,€108.99hb./€58,84电子书。

在庆祝63罗马条约周年之际,欧盟一直外部和内部处理的持续挑战。这些挑战破坏了欧盟曾经是建立者和担保者的自由秩序。它们也动摇了诸如自由贸易和自由民主之类的欧盟价值观。欧洲联盟在不断变化的世界秩序中提供有关欧盟如何应对这些挑战以及欧盟在新世界秩序中应扮演的角色的分析见解。这本书由九章组成,由来自不同学科的作者撰写,共九章,以分析欧盟在安全和外交政策,对外贸易,气候变化,移民,民粹主义,媒体的作用和欧盟基本价值观等各个领域的地位。每章都对相关领域中的问题进行了明确而系统的说明,并提供了政策建议。这有助于读者了解欧盟立场的整体情况以及应对新挑战的可能解决方案。

该书首先由费格斯滕(B.Fägersten)分析了欧盟外交与安全政策的连贯性,能力和背景。尽管作者没有提出任何新建议,但他的理论框架提出了当前有关共同安全与防务政策的辩论的关键点。接下来的三章探讨了欧盟的贸易维度,分析了国际贸易的结构性变化以及欧盟自由贸易协定的可持续性。这些章节构成了本书中最有影响力的部分,因为它们系统地论证了他们的论点。第六章指出了成员国之间在气候变化政策上的差异,并提出了包括不同工具的综合政策。同样,第7章分析了移民对欧洲国家的影响,提出了一种包含多种机制的整合策略。以德国和瑞典为案例研究,也说明了在具有完善的福利制度和高收容率的国家中有关移民的辩论。第8章通过比较2003年和2016年欧盟全球战略,分析了欧盟外交和安全政策日益中介化的问题。它侧重于使用媒体来提高解决方案的合法性,但是尚不清楚如何在不将所有内容都放入安全篮的情况下正确使用媒体。第9章将民粹主义评估为对欧盟的挑战。第10章研究了欧盟现有的保护其价值的机制是否有效。关于他们的不足之处,

该书通过对欧盟的未来进行跨学科分析,对现有文献做出了重大贡献。它还为欧盟的凝聚力,能力和自主行动提供了全面的建议。因此,它对欧盟学者和政策制定者都是有用的和相关的。
