Bilateral Diplomacy and EU Membership
Sandra Sonnleitner (2018). Bilateral Diplomacy and EU Membership: Case Study on Austria. Baden-Baden: Nomos, ISBN 978-3848747016, 274 pp., €54.00 (paperback).When the Lisbon Treaty, rather than Brexit negotiations, was all the news, academics and foreign policy practitioners argued that while diplomacy had always reacted sensibly to the introduction of new technologies, changes in the constellation of world power and the many other related challe…

European External Action Service
The Early Days of the European External Action Service
The proposal to create the European External Action Service (EEAS) seemed to be an acceptance by the European Union’s political elites that, in the post-Westphalian world, more attention needed to be given to collective European diplomacy rather than individual national diplomacy. Yet there was no guarantee that existing officials, whether from EU institutions or from the EU member states, would easily accept the related diplomatic norms and valu…
Taking Stock
The assumption that the European Union is creating a new diplomacy begs many questions. However, it is clear that the role of national diplomats in the integrative processes has changed dramatically during the last 50 years, producing a blueprint for a new form of European diplomacy. It is apparent that European diplomacy has been characterized by the existence of two broad but distinct diplomatic career paths, each with a separate and specific m…

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose? Attempting to reform the European Commission
The resignation of the Santer Commission has brought the longstanding debate about Commission reform to the front of the EU agenda. The issues for Commission reform include the redefinition of its roles in all three pillars, how its President is appointed, the role of vice-presidents, the number of Commissioners, collegiality and the right of censure. In all these areas the reform agenda has remained the same for twenty-five years, because previo…
The European community and German unification
This article provides an account of the issues posed for the European Community by German unification. It looks briefly at some of the political concerns of member states, especially France and Britain, about the implications of an enlarged Germany for the Community and the overall balance of power in a wider Europe. It then focuses on how the institutions of the EC responded to German unification, specifically the role of the Commission in initi…
