Abstract

A significant share of current theorisation efforts in European integration signals a trend towards more intergovernmentalism. External action has supposedly been no stranger to these dynamics, with member states emerging as the winners of a power contest with supranational institutions. The new intergovernmentalism has captured these developments by looking at the shape of integration since the Maastricht Treaty. Yet against this background, a closer look at the functioning of external action since the Lisbon Treaty unveils a stronger autonomy of de novo bodies such as the High Representative/Vice-president of the European Commission (HR/VP) and the (EEAS) in policy-making. This chapter introduces the analytical and empirical purposes of this book and argues that the strategy-making of the European Security Strategy (ESS) and the European Union Global Strategy (EUGS) nuances some of the central premises of an ever more intergovernmental European Union (EU).
