Abstract Details

2002, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Political Science (Arts and Sciences).
This thesis has two aims: first, to use neorealist theory to help illuminate the future role of European Union foreign policy; second, to use the case of the EU to help highlight some benefits and limitations of neorealism. Particular emphasis is given to how neorealism’s balance of power theory pertains to relations between the European Union and the United States, that is, to consider the possibility of the EU challenging the USA for global leadership. The thesis uses two case studies to focus on the development and trajectory of European foreign policy in its near-abroad, first in the Balkans and second in the Middle East. In both regions, the EU’s actions are considered in the context of transatlantic relations. Conclusions drawn from these studies are later supplemented with evidence from other issue areas. In a dedicated chapter, special attention is given to the ramifications of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the USA.
