Emerging New External Policies? Patterns of Contestation of Previously Internal EU Policies

Abstract

Among the non-traditional areas of EU foreign policy, internal policies with an external dimension have received overall little, yet increasing scholarly attention. With a growing internal acquis on policy areas such as climate, energy, migration, etc. over the past decades, the EU has increasingly developed policy-area specific external policies towards third actors and within international organizations, yet not without both internal and external contestation towards this new engagement. This panel assesses how the EU’s capacity to act on internal EU policies in external arenas is affected by internal and external contestation trends.
