Foreign Economic Relations of the European Community:
The Impact of Spain and Portugal
Hardcover: $35.00
ISBN: 978-1-55587-175-8
Providing a wealth of primary source data on the European Community after the accession of Spain and Portugal, Alfred Tovias assesses the changes—demographic, economic, and cultural—that have occurred thus far as a result of the third enlargement and posits that a further result will be the development of new EC foreign policies.
Tovias traces the evolving character of the EC and, given the newest members' foreign policy affinities—and antipathies—explores the impact of Spain and Portugal on the Community's foreign economic policymaking. He also discusses present and likely future policies toward specific geographic regions. Although he sees an enhanced foreign policy profile for the enlarged EC, his data do not support the notion of a significant change in EC-Latin American relations, nor of a "Mediterranean lobby."
