This book provides a new analytical framework that investigates the way in which the EU changes its foreign policy after crisis. Adapting existing theorising of foreign policy change to a single framework applicable to the EU context, Ikani provides a toolbox to explain the process of change and measure the policy change that follows. The framework is developed through an examination of two important EU foreign policy change episodes (post-Arab uprisings and post-Ukraine invasion), and test-driven in three recent cases of EU foreign policy change after crisis. The volume presents a novel typology of EU foreign policy change, advancing the fields of foreign policy analysis, public policy studies and International Relations. It explains both the decision-making process leading to policy change, and the variation in change outcomes following this process.
