Book Reviews, Endorsements and Awards:
“A theoretically nuanced narrative that is as compelling as it is enlightening. The book navigates beyond traditional international relations boundaries, offering a theoretically sophisticated problem-oriented approach that exposes persistent challenges and intricate realities.” Luk Van Langenhove, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
“It is not just NATO and the United States that crashed and burned so disastrously in Afghanistan. So too did the European Union, as Oz Hassan demonstrates in his searching and unsettling discussion of possibly its most significant – but least discussed – foreign policy failure of the last 20 years. A must-read for all those who believe that in our increasingly dangerous world, the EU still has a critical part to play.” Michael Cox, Emeritus Professor of International Relations and Founding Director of LSE IDEAS
“This authoritative analysis provides a much-needed examination of the EU’s involvement in Afghanistan. Its enlightening insights are indispensable for the students, researchers and practitioners of Western interventions in Afghanistan.” Barış Çelik, University of Sheffield

Book Reviews:
"Skillfully navigating ideologically-infested waters, Hassan arrives at valuable insights and persuasive, dispassionate conclusions about U.S. policy under both Bush and Obama relating to Arab political change. A fine example of rigorous, reflective scholarship applied to current policy issues of considerable importance and controversy."
