How do smaller member states promote their interests in EU foreign
policy and external relations? EU membership can be seen to affect
member states' foreign policy in two ways, either by restricting
national policies or empowering states in a challenging global
environment. There is a general agreement, however, that the member
states, especially smaller ones, have to engage actively in
policy-making in order to promote their particular interest. This
cross-policy comparison of the behaviour of Czech Republic's
representatives in the Council and the methods they use to
influence the decision-making applies categorisation from lobbying
literature to analyse the behaviour of the member state's
representatives and contributes to two strands of scholarship on
European Union politics - decision-making in the EU and
Europeanization. The book maps the methods of interest promotion
that can be used by a member state and analyses the differences in
interest promotion across external policy areas.
