Learning to cooperate after Lisbon: Inter-institutional dimensions of the EEAS
Abstract
The creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS) raises the possibility that the fundamental tensions that existed prior to the Lisbon Treaty between the diverse EU institutions with regard to the interplay between CFSP and community external relations in the EU’s international role may yet hobble the EEAS from the outset. But, alternatively, given that the Commission, the General Secretariat of the Council and the Member States have all invested in this new creation called the EEAS and they are therefore tied to its failure or success. Consequently, this article suggests that emphasis should be upon the learning element. The Service implies learning how to support the top EU external relations posts most effectively and to enhance the coherence of the Union’s external actions.
