"The EU Presidencies of Central Eastern European Members: A Framework for Mutual Socialisation and Normative Influence on the EU’s Agenda?"

Résumé

Studies on the Eastward enlargement of the European Union have mainly looked at Europeanisation as a process going from the EU and its member states to the candidate countries. There are, however, some policy fields, like foreign policy, where there is almost no acquis. One can thus notice during the first years of EU presidencies a “Europeanisation” of the foreign policy structures of the newer member states, but also a parallel cognitive influence of these countries on the external policies of the EU. In order to show the role played by the EU on the Central Eastern European countries (CEEC) as well as their play on the EU, the chapter concentrates on a case which has so far been neglected by the literature, the one of the EU Council presidencies, in looking at the impact of CEECs on the European foreign policy agenda during their respective EU presidencies since 2004, and into more detail at the cases of Slovenia and the Czech Republic. Policies developed for potential candidates and previous communist countries – the countries of the Western Balkans and those of the Eastern Partnership – represent most interesting cases in order to detail how social norms, which are part of CEECs traditional foreign policies, have been transferred and adapted to EUs foreign policy. The chapter concludes that, even in still apparent asymmetrical situations – as it is said that EU’s agenda is set in advance – there is always some leeway for negotiations and discussion, especially on social norms.
