      abstract = {"The Common Security and Defence Policy maps out how the  EU - established primarily to be an economic organisation -  can purposefully prepare for and apply the use of military  force. In this insightful work, Per M. Norheim-Martinsen  argues that, since the EU is not a state but nevertheless  does embody some non-intergovernmental characteristics,  neither EU studies nor strategic studies is sufficient for  fully understanding the Policy itself. Combining the two  fields, the author utilises the instrumentality and clarity  of the strategic approach, while retaining an understanding  of the unique character of the EU as a strategic actor. In  so doing, he provides a fruitful conceptual framework for  analysing the development of the CSDP, how it functions in  practice and how it will continue to evolve in the face of  the challenges which lie ahead. This book will appeal to  scholars and advanced students of European studies,  international relations and strategic studies"--},
