The Contested Diplomacy of the European External Action Service

The creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS), the EUs new diplomatic body, was accompanied by high expectations for improving the way Europe would deal with foreign policy. However, observers of its first years of operation have come to the opposite conclusion.

This book explains why the EEAS, despite being hailed as a milestone in integration in Europes foreign policy, has fallen short of the mark. It does so by enlisting American institutionalist approaches to European questions of institutional creation, bureaucratic organisations and change. The book examines the peculiar shape the EEASs organisation has taken, what political factors determined that shape and design and how it has operated. Finally, it looks at the autonomous operation of the EEAS from a bureaucratic theory perspective, concluding that this is the best way to understand its course. Including data gathered from elite interviews of politicians and senior officials involved in the institutional process, an assessment of official documentary evidence and a survey of EEAS officials at the organisations beginning, it sheds new light on a controversial tool in the EUs foreign policy.

This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of European Union foreign policy, public administration, and more broadly to European Union and European politics, as well as to practitioners within those fields.

Jost-Henrik Morgenstern-Pomorski is a Lecturer in Political Science with a special focus on European and American politics at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. He was awarded a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher position at Loughborough University, UK, and was a visiting PhD student at the University of Cambridge, UK.

In memory of Dave Allen

It [European Political Cooperation] is essentially suited to reacting to events: anything more would require a much closer harmonization of EPC and EEC activities. In the long run this would presumably require a much larger secretariat []; it would, in fact, require the establishment of both a common foreign policy and a common European diplomatic service.*

When beginning the research for this book in 2010, I was frequently asked how I could study something that did not yet exist. It turns out that the EEAS came and grew much faster than the research process. Not only has the EEAS been established, but it is already operating under its second High Representative. As it turns out, I could have started earlier!

I would like to thank all those officials and politicians who volunteered their time to answer my questions and whose contributions are an invaluable part of understanding how the EEAS came about.

I gratefully acknowledge the funding this project has received from the European Commission through a PhD position in the Inter-Institutional Cooperation in the EU (INCOOP) Initial Training Network at Loughborough University.

The two central figures of my time at Loughborough were Dave Allen and Mike Smith, once referred to as the twin pillars of Loughborough at an EUSA conference. Dave was an incredible inspiration from the first day at Loughborough and is unfortunately not with us to see this book published. For this reason, I have dedicated this book to his memory. Mike has helped enormously with his comments and advice, his drive towards structure and meaningful arguments, as well as his keen eye for Germanisms. I owe him great thanks also for his support and advice in the years after the PhD. I would also like to thank Helen Drake for all her support during and after the dissertation and for her role in that wonderful association of researchers that is UACES. Mark Webber, Lee Miles and Rob Dover gave valuable comments in the process, too. It was a genuine pleasure to share an office with fellow INCOOP researcher Nikola Tomic and see the Boston Celtics and Baltimore Orioles with Borja Garcia. As part of the INCOOP network, I had the opportunity to spend time at the University of Cambridge and I would like to thank my host Julie Smith, as well as Christopher Hill, Geoffrey Edwards, and Ariella Huff. At Maastricht, thanks go to Heidi Maurer and Paul Stephenson who just may have to hear a little less about the EEAS in the future.
