Catherine Gegout Livres

Through three detailed case studies, the book explores the decision-making processes within the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the EU. It analyzes the EU's stance on China's human rights practices, the imposition of sanctions against Serbia, and the relationship between the EU and NATO. These cases support the author's argument regarding the complexities and challenges faced by the EU in shaping its foreign policy and security strategies.

Gegout's book offers a sharp rebuke to those who believe that altruism is the guiding principle of Western intervention in Africa.
