    This book is the very first to collect together the key official documents tracing the development of European foreign policy from the end of the Second World War to the present day. It contains:
    *all important documents on European foreign policy from 1948 to the Kosovo crisis
    *material from major treaties such as The North Atlantic treaty, the treaty of Rome and the treaty of Amsterdam
    *European responses to major world events such as the Middle East peace process, the Falklands war and the Balkans crisis
    *detailed commentary and analysis of the documents providing a valuable political and historical context
    *many documents which are extremely difficult to obtain elsewhere.
    The unparalleled coverage makes this book an essential primary source for all those interested in European politics and International Relations.
