Abstract:

The paper will start with a short theoretical introspection emphasizing the fact that the EU represents a challenge for the classical IR theory approaches considering that, as an international actor, EU simply could not be accommodated within a large section of classical theorizing about the interstate system. The author's point will be that the today Union can be regarded as a transitional entity which acts independently into international system but which also remains itself a complex subsystem of international relations. The central part of the author's approach will be on the EU's new international actorness capabilities. In this respect an analysis on the changes brought by the Enlargement and the deepening of integration will be made. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated that the Enlargement represents a ''win-win'' process for all the parties involved, including the non-EU actors. In the support of this assertion ''The Impact of EU Enlargement for EU-Japan relations'' will represent a case study to be employed. A major particularity which the author thinks that it is to be highlighted is the ''civilian'' actor feature of EU having in mind that its capacity to act on the international arena rests not on the military capabilities but on the political and economic power in its possession, which can be converted into legitimacy, prestige and influence. The EU way of managing with its global responsibilities will be also shortly reviewed, which will include: an analysis on the EU development and sustainable development policy, the EU trade liberalization promotion under the Cotonou Agreement as well as the use of ''human rights conditionality'' as an effective ''foreign policy tool''. At the same time, the reality of an EU still confronted with institutional and operational problems will not be forgotten. Thus, the author also intends to highlight the major challenges which still lie ahead of EU in order to become a more effective international actor. In this context, a particular focus will be on the shortcomings and the potential solutions for a more effective Common Foreign and Security Policy. The last part of the paper will focus on the trans-regional dialogues established by and with the EU and their potential to become intermediaries of a multilateral Global Governance system. The Asia-Europe cooperation/ASEM will serve as a case study. In the end, the author intends to draw the following conclusion: The EU 27 will substantially contribute to the global balance of power by providing an alternative Western voice in international affairs with a strong emphasize on the multilateral rules based system. Furthermore, the promotion of its own model of regionalism as well as the trans-regional dialogues in which EU takes part have the potential to become important elements for addressing the Global Governance challenges. |
