While the EU has championed "effective multilateralism" and experienced a dramatic internal reform process to improve its performance in external relations, broader multilateral processes have also undergone dramatic change.

This handbook addresses the increasingly contested issue of profound political importance: Europe’s presence in multilateral institutions. It assesses both the evolving role of Europe in international institutions, and the transformations in international institutions themselves. Acknowledging that the category of international institutions comprises a highly diverse field of multilateral engagements this handbook presents an approach that analyzes both what we have learned about the EU and international institutions as well as identifying promising avenues for further research.

This volume brings together scholars and practitioners to summarize and synthesize existing knowledge in the field.
