Abstract

This article starts with a reflective assessment of the limits and scope of the innovations of the Lisbon Treaty in the field of external relations and CFSP, as a basis for s better understanding of the European External Action Service (EEAS). Then, after reflecting on the political process that shaped Council’s Final Decision, it examines from a critical perspective the EEAS’s main legal and institutional dimensions, as well as some of the possible complications to foreseen in the moment of its operational deployment. The article concludes, in short, that the new service is unlikely to rescue by itself the EU’s current impasse in its international role.
