Book Description
The Millennium Review Summit, in September 2005, will see the UN heads of state and government reviewing how the United Nations can deliver freedom from want, fear and oppression for all the world's peoples. Four agendas will be addressed: development; security; human rights and democracy; and reform of the UN institutions. This report looks at the EU's role in the United Nations, and at what the EU can do to make a successful outcome at the Review more likely. The Committee praises the EU's policies on increasing development aid, and on the responsibility to protect in cases of genocide, ethnic cleansing and other crimes against humanity. Other areas where the EU and the British government should strive for progress at the Review are: the strategy against terrorism; nuclear non-proliferation; supporting the Secretary-General's proposals for reform of the UN institutions and secretariat.

Book Description
The Committee's report examines how the UK Parliament can best hold the Government to account for the foreign policy of the European Union, known as the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). As the European Parliament has principally only an advisory role in scrutinising CFSP decisions, national parliaments therefore have a key role to play in ensuring that any foreign policy actions are taken in an open and transparent manner. The Committee welcomes the increased commitment to the scrutiny process shown by the FCO recently and hopes the same culture of scrutiny will be adopted by the MoD. The report makes recommendations including the need for improved procedures for the deposit of documents; early warning of important new initiatives and proposed actions; and the deposit of significant non-legislative documents for scrutiny.

Book Description
This report examines developments in the European Defence Agency (EDA) since the Committee's 9th report of session 2004-05 (HL 76, ISBN 0104006358). The Committee is disappointed that the three-year financial framework for the EDA has not been agreed, as it is important for future planning. It believes all participating member states should fully participate in projects that have relevance to their defence needs and capabilities, and that the EDA should concentrate on a few achievable tasks, aiming to add value to that which could be achieved by the member states individually. All member states should subscribe to the Code of Conduct on Defence Procurement. The Committee is hopeful that the EDA can play a significant role in the improvement of European military capabilities. The report also presents evidence from the Minster for Defence Procurement on the most recent developments in European defence.

Book Description
Based on the experience of the author, an IPE scholar and former trade policy consultant at the World Bank (WB), the book offers an in-depth exploration of the EU–WB relations, conceptualized as hybrid delegation. Coupling cross-time analyses of their interaction in the regions of the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa with an original investigation on the coordination among the EU member states at the Executive Board of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development over the ‘voice and participation reform’ of 2008–2010, the book advances an innovative theoretical framework to assess the EU–WB joint institutional and field policy performances. Augmented PA models of delegation, role theory and performance analyses are engaged, and selectively recombined, to investigate the nature, evolution and impact of the interactions of the two organizations, both in their everyday and constituent politics. Hybrid delegation-in-motion is reconstructed, against the background of post-Washington Consensus and post-Lisbon EU, to unveil the changing division of labour between the two largest development multilaterals of the new global context. The book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners in European Politics, Development, International Relations, International Political Economy and Global Economic Governance.
