Sjursen, Helene (2015) Integration and democracy in the EU’s foreign and security policy. [Conference Proceedings] (Submitted)
Abstract
Introduction: In this paper I seek to discuss the claim of an emerging democratic deficit in the field of foreign and security policy. In order to do so, it is necessary to have a clearer picture of the degree and form of integration in this domain. It is only when this is clarified that we can establish whether or not the CFSP should be considered to give rise to new democratic problems or if it has rather has enhanced the democratic credentials of European foreign policy. In this preliminary draft the main focus is on identifying the key elements of the reconfiguration of European foreign and security policy in the context of the EU. The analysis of democratic implications is so far tentative and not fully developed neither theoretically nor empirically.
