Negotiating within and with the European Union: European economic diplomacy
The European Union is a product of negotiation. Its multi-layer and multi-player policy-making labyrinth is also a constant negotiation process taking place at different levels and involving a variety of actors. The specificity of the EU governance structure puts forward the purpose of reaching agreement on the realization of a common interest where conflicting interests are present. The European project is therefore a never-ending process of reconciling undeniable diversity with equally undeniable common aspirations. Many aspects of the Union’s external, trade and economic relations are managed through negotiations. Negotiating effectively within and with the EU therefore requires deep understanding of the complexities and distinctiveness of negotiation processes taking place at the European scene and available instruments. It also requires a capacity to balance power leverage with political and diplomatic acumen.
