REVISITING COHERENCE IN EU FOREIGN POLICY
Edited by Clara Portela and Kolja Raube
The foreign policies of the European Union (EU) has long been identified as a field of special concern in the study of coherence due to the difficulty of overcoming the problems posed by its duality. Fifteen years have elapsed since the Treaty on European Union (TEU) signed at Maastricht formally linked the external relations of the European Community (EC) and the intergovernmental Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Improving the coherence of EU (European Union) external action formulated in these two distinct foreign policy frameworks, or "pillars", was a key motivation behind the establishment of a single institutional framework. The recent Commission’s Communication "Europe in the World – Some Practical Proposals for Greater Coherence, Effectiveness and Visibility" shows that EU actors are concerned with coherence in daily foreign policy-making.
