The international relations of the European Union in light of the innovations made to the Treaty of Amsterdam

This was the second phase of the project initiated in 1999 entitled "The European Union after the revision of Maastricht: the Treaty of Amsterdam". The research was conducted in collaboration with the IDI of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and aimed to trace the evolution of the EU's international role after the revisions made to the Treaty of Amsterdam in the economic, political and security sectors. The methodological approach analyzed the articles of the Treaty of Amsterdam, their genesis and, above all, their impact on the EU's modus operandi in the world. The findings were published in 2003 in a book edited by G.Bonvicini and G.Tosato: Le relazioni internazionali dell'Unione europea dopo i Trattati di Amsterdam e Nizza, Torino, Giappichelli, 2003, viii, 263 p.
