The Common Foreign and Security Policy at 30: Moving Past Contestation?

Abstract

The EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) was first formulated in the Maastricht Treaty in 1991/1993. With CFSP turning 30, the aim of this panel is to assess to what extent the formulation and implementation of the EU’s CFSP is affected by internal (such as the lack of consensus among Member States) and external (such as third countries challenging EU actions) contestation. Papers will analyze the effect of contestation on the declaratory and operational components of CFSP towards various regions and third actors.
