Challenges for European Foreign Policy in 2011. After the crisis. FRIDE Publications (FRIDE, January 2011)
2010 was a turbulent year for the European Union's foreign policy. What are the prospects for 2011? Can we expect a calmer period of recuperation and rebuilding in Europe’s external relations? Or are there even more serious and disquieting challenges over the horizon? FRIDE looks forward and presents the ten most important challenges for the EU in 2011. 
Europe’s Decline and Fall: the struggle against global irrelevance.Richard Youngs (Profile Books, November 2010) The Lisbon Treaty celebrates its first birthday. While Brussels has immersed itself in seemingly arcane debates over institutional fine-tuning, the scales of global power have tipped decisively against the European Union. In a rush to deal with decline, European governments err in defensively abandoning many of the EU's supposedly core values. So, what do we do about it?
The European Union and Democracy Promotion: A Critical Global Assessment. Richard Youngs (ed., Johns Hopkins Universty Press, September 2010) The European Union has made firm commitments to democratic reforms and human rights initiatives around the world. This book examines the efficacy of these efforts, particularly in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Ukraine, Central Asia, Morocco, Iraq and the Persian Gulf, and Nigeria.
The EU's Role in World Politics. Richard Youngs (Routledge, August 2010) Europe is in retreat from liberal internationalism. This book argues that the EU needs to reassess its policies if it is to defend the kind of liberal world order necessary for its own and other countries’ long-term interests.
Into EurAsia: Monitoring the EU's Central Asia Strategy. Jos Boonstra, Michael Emerson (eds, FRIDE/CEPS, February 2010) This report evaluates the way in which the Strategy for Central Asia forms part of the EU’s worldview, and suggests some courses of action for Europe in light of its new foreign policy responsibilities.
