The purpose of this book is neither to duplicate overviews of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) nor to recapitulate narrative treatments of the European integration process. The aim is to comprehend how EU negotiations work theoretically and empirically so that a conceptual framework for analyzing EU international negotiations will be provided and juxtaposed to two key negotiations leading to the establishment of the CFP.
This book links theoretical studies to empirical evidence and constitutes a comprehensive appreciation of bargaining by comparing integrative and distributive bargaining in the context of the European fisheries policy.
