Extract
In a globalized world where states are opening up and borders becoming more porous, one may ask what is foreign and what is foreign policy. This question is even more relevant in the case of European states where European policies certainly are not foreign policies. Within the states of the European Union, socalled domestic ministries, the Ministries of Finance or the Ministries of Agriculture, primarily, conduct “foreign policy,” while the influence of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs seems to be dwindling. The outside is inside and Europe is part of us: European policies are devised by networks of various actors at all levels, European and national, governmental and societal. In other words, foreign policy in Europe is indeed a curious beast—which is the reason that a number of authors have in the past years delved into this topic.
