Book Description
This volume assesses the evolution of Spain's external relations during the 1990s, within and beyond Europe, and assesses the principal challenges facing the country at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The coincidence of several crucial global and European developments has had a profound effect on Spain. Adjustment of the economy and changes in foreign policy perspectives have become unavoidable. In turn, Spain, as an increasingly self-confident member of the EU, has itself become a significant actor in European-level developments. Spain's relationship with Europe and the wider world is increasingly balanced between new constraints and new opportunities for international influence.

Book Description
Excerpt from Spain in Profile: A Summer Among the Olives and Aloes There is a class of readers whom the unscientific traveler would gladly reach and interest, - the light skimmers of summer books between whom and distant countries lie, - not one, but many seas, and whose only hope, in all probability, of seeing them is through the more favored eyes of others. For these - not for those who have personally 'undertaken the adventure of Spain' - this volume is specially written, - a series of profiles projected more or less vaguely by a Spanish sun. The author feels his errors of omission and of commission quite as keenly as the most hostile critic could desire, and would hesitate to publish his sketches at all - for more they do not profess to be - if the general impression pervading them were unfavorable to the Spaniards.
