In this book, Michael Smith examines the specific ways foreign policy cooperation has been institutionalized in the EU, the way institutional development affects cooperative outcomes in foreign policy, and how those outcomes lead to new institutional reforms. Smith explains the evolution and performance of the institutional procedures of the EU using a unique analytical framework, supported by extensive em- pirical evidence drawn from interviews, case studies, official documents and secondary sources. His perceptive and well-informed analysis cov- ers the entire history of EU foreign policy cooperation, from its origins in the late 1960s up to the start of the 2003 constitutional convention. Demonstrating the importance and extent of EU foreign/security policy, the book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and policymakers.

I would first like to thank Wayne Sandholtz for his extensive advice and unfailing encouragement throughout the en- tire process, from conception to research to writing. I could not have asked for a better mentor for this project. Roy Ginsberg’s detailed studies of EU foreign policy actions helped to inspire this volume; he also gra- ciously provided extensive comments on earlier drafts of the manuscript. The other members of my dissertation committee, Russell Dalton and Patrick Morgan, added their votes of confidence to my efforts at key stages and for that I am grateful. I would also like to thank several scholars whose large body of work on the EU provided much of the empirical evidence for the analysis presented here. They were also kind enough to take interest in my work and lend their insights to the project. In addition to Roy Ginsberg, these scholars include David Allen, Simon Bulmer, Fraser Cameron, Jim Caporaso, Thomas Grunert, Christopher Hill, John Peterson, and Michael Smith. I am also grateful to the members of two “Institutionalization of Europe” workshops led by Wayne Sandholtz, Alec Stone Sweet, and Neil Fligstein, who helped stimulate some of the ideas presented here. Special mention goes to Simon Nuttall, who shared his detailed knowledge of the history of EU foreign and security policy with me and saved me from a number of errors. Any that remain, of course, are entirely my own. This research was supported financially by several institutions: the Council for European Studies, the US Institute for International Ed- ucation (Fulbright fellowship), the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation/MacArthur Foundation, the UC- Irvine Regent’s fellowship program, the European Union Center of the University System of Georgia, and the Bicentennial Swedish-American Fund of the Swedish Government Information Service. The Centre for European Studies in Brussels provided a very stimulating environment for my initial explorations into the EU; the manuscript also benefited from xii .6768B:DDC Cambridge54B697 B95B7 Books 4B69727BCD/ Online © Cambridge University0D Press, 2009C475DDD:74B697B7 D7BC8C747D:DDC 54B697 B95B7D7BC :DDC6 B9 ,1 Acknowledgments xiii presentations at meetings of the European Union Studies Association, the Council for European Studies, and the International Studies Asso- ciation, as well as graduate student conferences at Columbia University, Georgetown University, and Harvard University. Small portions of the argument have appeared in the Journal of Common Market Studies and the Journal of European Public Policy, and I appreciate the input given by the editors of those journals (Iain Begg, John Peterson, and Jeremy Richardson). My editor at Cambridge University Press, John Haslam, expertly guided me through the book production process, and I am especially grateful to the two external reviewers he chose for their sound advice on improving the final manuscript. I would also like to thank the numer- ous officials involved in EU foreign policy who agreed to be interviewed for this project. It would have been impossible to develop my arguments about the relationship between institutionalization and cooperation with- out the valuable inside knowledge provided by these individuals. The same is true for officials from the US mission to the European Union who monitor the foreign policy of the EU and shared their opinions of it with me. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their generous emotional (and financial) support of my scholarly ambitions. I would not have had the courage to take this path without them. My last word of thanks is reserved for the person to whom this book is dedicated, my wife Penny, for her love, patience, and encouragement. .6768B:DDC Cambridge54B697 B95B7 Books 4B69727BCD/ Online © Cambridge University0D Press, 2009C475DDD:74B697B7 D7BC8C747D:DDC 54B697 B95B7D7BC :DDC6 B9 ,1 Abbreviations ACP African, Caribbean, and Pacific States ASEAN Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASEM Asia–Europe Meeting

    POLICE IN PEACE OPERATIONS Erwin A. Schmidl Preface Peace operations, from their beginning in the nineteenth century and increasingly since the end of the Cold War, have included varying degrees of "police activities," ranging from supervising indigenous police agencies to actually performing law enforcement duties. Until recently, this aspect of peace operations has often been overlooked or under-appreciated in favour of the military, humanitarian, and political components of such missions. The following paper gives an overview of peace operations which involved police functions — known as "civilian police," or CIVPOL, in U.N. language. I became involved in the study of police in peace operations while I was a Senior Fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace in 1995-96. A first conference on this subject was organised at the USIP in May 1996, followed by a series of conferences and workshops convened by Ambassador Robert B. Oakley and Colonel Michael J. Dziedzic at the National Defense University in Washington D.C. in 1996-97. This resulted in their recent volume Policing the New World Disorder: Peace Operations and Public Security, perhaps the most comprehensive contribution to our knowledge of police aspects in peace operations. The following paper is a summary of peace operations including police aspects, both by the United Nations and outside the U.N. framework. The information is based on a variety of sources, and is accurate as of July 1998. Two new missions have not been included: in April 1998, a U.N. operation was established for the Central African Republic (MINURCA, Mission des Nations Unies en République Central-Africaine) which includes 17 police officers.

  • The Evolution of Intergovernmental Cooperation in the European Process
    1 Article à paraître en janvier dans Challenge Europe, le magazine on-line du European Policy Center The Evolution of Intergovernmental Cooperation in the European process. The Luxemburg report, also known as the Davignon report, adopted by Foreign Ministers in October 1970 is a generally accepted departure point for intergovernmental cooperation among members of the European Community. It was the first time that the “Community method”, devised by Jean Monnet and consolidated by the treaty of Rome on the basis of texts prepared by the Spaak Committee, was deliberately discarded, in the field of foreign policy, in favour of the traditional methods of diplomatic consultation, in an exercise initially known as “political cooperation”. The significance of that initial step can only be understood by a flashback to the failure of the Fouchet negotiations in the spring of 1962. That negotiation, launched and largely dominated by General de Gaulle, had been understood by his partners as a deliberate attempt to subordinate the nascent European Community to an intergovernmental construction established in Paris, presumably dominated by France, and without any of the supranational procedures or institutions which had made Monnet’s proposals acceptable to the smaller countries. Its final failure was immediately perceived as a turning point, as a clear parting of the ways between the Gaullist concept of l’Europe des patries and the supranational concept developed in the fifties. It was moreover quite acrimonious: participants accusing each other of arrogant and irresponsible behaviour. In his memoirs Paul-Henri Spaak, who played a prominent role both as Belgian Foreign Minister and as foster father of the treaty of Rome, clearly puts the responsibility on the shoulders of Couve de Murville.

  • The War in Croatia, 1991-1995
    7 Mile Bjelajac, team leader Ozren Žunec, team leader Mieczyslaw Boduszynski Igor Graovac Srdja Pavlović Raphael Draschtak Sally Kent Jason Vuić Rüdiger Malli This chapter stems in large part from the close collaboration and co-au- thorship of team co-leaders Mile Bjelajac and Ozren Žunec. They were supported by grants from the National Endowment for Democracy to de- fray the costs of research, writing, translation, and travel between Zagreb and Belgrade. The chapter also benefited from extensive comment and criticism from team members and project-wide reviews conducted in Feb- ruary-March 2004, November-December 2005, and October-November 2006. Several passages of prose were reconstructed in summer 2010 to address published criticism. THE WAR IN CROATIA, 1991-1995 ◆ Mile Bjelajac and Ozren Žunec ◆ Introductory Remarks Methodology and Sources Military organizations produce large quantities of documents covering all aspects of their activities, from strategic plans and decisions to reports on spending for small arms. When archives are open and documents accessible, it is relatively easy for military historians to reconstruct events in which the military partici- pated. When it comes to the military actions of the units in the field, abundant documentation provides for very detailed accounts that sometimes even tend to be overly microscopic. But there are also military organizations, wars, and indi- vidual episodes that are more difficult to reconstruct. Sometimes reliable data are lacking or are inaccessible, or there may be a controversy regarding the mean- ing of events that no document can solve. Complicated political factors and the simple but basic shortcomings of human nature also provide challenges for any careful reconstruction.

  • Developments up to the Single European Act
    DEVELOPMENTS UP TO THE SINGLE EUROPEAN ACT The main developments of the early Treaties are related to the creation of Community own resources, the reinforcement of the budgetary powers of Parliament, election of MEPs by direct universal suffrage and the setting-up of the European Monetary System (EMS). The entry into force of the Single European Act in 1986, which substantially altered the Treaty of Rome, bolstered the notion of integration by creating a large internal market. MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE FIRST STAGE OF INTEGRATION Article 8 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community (EEC), also known as the Treaty of Rome, provided for the completion of a common market over a transitional period of 12 years, in three stages, ending on 31 December 1969. Its first aim, the customs union, was completed more quickly than expected. The transitional period for enlarging quotas and phasing out internal customs ended as early as 1 July 1968. Even so, at the end of the transitional period there were still major obstacles to freedom of movement. By then, the EEC had adopted a common external tariff for trade with non-EEC countries. Creating a ‘Green Europe’ was another major project for European integration. The first regulations on the common agricultural policy (CAP) were adopted and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund was set up in 1962. FIRST TREATY AMENDMENTS A. Improvements to the institutions The first institutional change came about with the Merger Treaty of 8 April 1965, which merged the executive bodies. This took effect in 1967, setting up a single Council and Commission of the European Communities (the European Coal and Steel Community, the EEC and the European Atomic Energy Community) and introducing the principle of a single budget.
