Through its focus on EU Association Agreement negotiations, this
book goes beyond the study of traditional EU trade negotiations and
puts the spotlight on the increasing number of negotiations where
trade relations are discussed alongside political ones. This
setting makes both the negotiations themselves and the definition
of the EU's positions more complicated, raising the question as to
what ultimately determines the EU's behaviour in such complex
negotiations spanning multiple of the EU's policy areas. Offering a
generalizable analytical model to study such complex EU
international negotiations, the book illuminates the preferences
and interactions between individual parts of the EU's foreign
affairs bureaucracy, and those between the lead actors, the
Directorate General for Trade, and the European External Action
Service (EEAS), in particular. In doing so, it demonstrates the
utility of adapting the concept of bureaucratic politics from
Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) to the EU's foreign policy
decision-making apparatus across different stages of EU
international negotiations. It also discusses how the institutional
changes of the Treaty of Lisbon have altered the institutional
set-up of the EU's foreign affairs bureaucracy and thereby changed
the foundations of the EU's bureaucratic politics. Finally, the
book finds that the EU's behaviour in these negotiations is
ultimately shaped, on the one hand, by the presence of diverging
positions between its institutional actors, and the difficulty to
bridge them through policy coordination mechanisms, on the other.
Empirically, it explores these dynamics by considering the EU's
Association Agreement negotiations on the Latin American continent
over the last twenty years before demonstrating the analytical
model's utility in the context of the EU's negotiations with
Ukraine and Japan. This book will be of key interest to scholars,
students, and practitioners in EU foreign affairs/external
relations, EU public administration and public policy, EU trade
policy, and more broadly to Foreign Policy Analysis and
International Relations.
