Europe Anti-Power

Europe Anti-Power by Michael Maurice Loriaux is a thought-provoking exploration of the European Union's role in global politics, published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2020. With 180 pages of insightful analysis, this book engages in the critical debate surrounding the nature of power that Europe should embody in the contemporary world. Loriaux challenges the prevailing dichotomy between Europe’s ‘normative power’ and a more assertive, realist approach, introducing a fresh perspective on the concept of power itself. Rather than simply questioning what power is, the author invites readers to reconsider the implications of Europe’s influence on international relations. This compelling read is essential for anyone interested in the dynamics of global politics and the evolving identity of Europe on the world stage.
