This magisterial volume draws on the expertise of leading scholars, practitioners and policy makers to chart the EU's participation in six key international organisations: the UN, the WTO, the ILO, the WHO, the ITU and the FAO.

Each is explored from a unique dual perspective: firstly from that of the EU, and secondly from that of the organisation itself. This collection offers a truly innovative approach to ensure a better understanding of the EU's role as a global diplomatic power.
