The Adaptation of European Foreign Economic Policy: From Rome to Seattle

Journal of Common Market Studies, 2000, vol. 38, issue 1, 93-116

Abstract: This article offers an historical institutionalist investigation of the evolution of the European Union's (EU) foreign economic policy. Its central argument is that the EU's evolving institutional framework structures the member governments' choices about co‐operating in new policy areas. Significantly, the impact of this framework has changed over time as the result of judicial interpretation, which has tended to shift authority from the Member States to the EU. This process has been particularly pronounced in European foreign economic policy, where treaty reforms have been very modest and the European Court of Justice has been very active.
