    Abstract

    Scholars have long questioned the international political stature of the European Union (EU), portraying the organization as an economic giant but a political pygmy. Three recent case studies provide evidence to the contrary, showing that the European Commission can transform the EU’s economic capabilities into the political capital necessary to influence policy in the United States. The cases (and policy areas) are: Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger (aerospace/defense policy); Helms-Burton Act (foreign policy); and the EU Directive on Data Protection (privacy/Internet policy). After describing the EU’s influence in these cases, the paper suggests three explanations for the assertiveness of the European Commission.
