It discusses the significance of the maritime domain for European security in general and for the EU in particular. \n\nReaders are provided with the necessary tools to critically assess the EU's potential as a global maritime actor and evaluate why Europe's prosperity and security rests on its capacity to shape events at sea.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-06-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137017802\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137017819\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 227\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47680746356876,"sku":"9781137017802","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137017802.jpg?v=1776578003","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137017802","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
