{"product_id":"palestine-in-eu-and-russian-foreign-policy-1","title":"Palestine in EU and Russian Foreign Policy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe establishment of a Palestinian state has long been a strategic objective of EU and Russian foreign policy in the Middle East. However, over a decade after the creation of the road-map, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state has still not been achieved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePalestine in EU and Russian Foreign Policy uses the school of constructivism to provide a new understanding of EU and Russian foreign policy. It explores the failure of these global actors to speed up the process of establishing a Palestinian state, despite this being a strategic objective and top priority of their involvement in the Middle East peace process. The book then analyses the role of identity and self-other perception in the making of EU and Russian foreign policy towards the Middle East peace process. It is argued that Palestinian statehood provides a telling empirical example of how, and to what extent, the search for global actorness, as a matter of international identity, informs foreign policy-making by global actors. The book then proceeds to discuss why the EU and Russia are so eager to be involved in initiating a peace settlement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering a new understanding of foreign policy-making by global players in Middle Eastern politics, this book will appeal to students, scholars and policymakers working in International Relations and European, Russian and Middle Eastern studies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55668144832856,"sku":"9781138647879","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138647879_aef1e92b-8cc8-4be1-aad2-64c041c1fa5f.jpg?v=1769150738","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/palestine-in-eu-and-russian-foreign-policy-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
