Abstract

This chapter sets out the main theoretical arguments in the book. It examines how key components of constructivism have inspired a new supranationalist theoretical analysis that CFSP has been responsible for a profound transformation not just in how member states make foreign policy, but in the interests and preferences that underpin this. This book does not dispute that member states have had to adapt to the requirements and pressures of CFSP. However, it argues that new supranationalist theorising pays insufficient attention to the national level. Thus, change remains rooted in national-level institutions and processes that give states the capacity to ‘play the game’ and are crucial in enabling them to act strategically in their engagement with the CFSP.

Nächstes Kapitel From Pusillanimous Realism to Defensive Engagement: Britain’s Changing Relationship with the CFSP

The pillar system consisted of Community policy in Pillar 1, CFSP in Pillar 2 and Pillar 3 for co-operation in Justice and Home Affairs, which like CFSP was also intergovernmental.

Prior to 2009 and the entering into force of Lisbon, foreign affairs were dealt with by the General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC) which has now been split, although traditionally the two bodies meet on the same day, one after the other.

COREPER is itself divided into two: COREPER I which meets at Deputy Permanent Representative level and tends to focus on what pre-Lisbon would have been characterised as Pillar 1 Community policy; and COREPER II which meets at Permanent Representative level and deals with foreign affairs, economics affairs, JHA, etc.
