Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to point out the importance of the new path that the EU has chosen thorough the Lisbon Treaty. The most important changes can be found in the CFSP/ESDP policies, where we can see an increase in political integration and a better image for the EU in the world, achieved through an unitary and more coherent position in its relations with international actors. To support these ideas I present the modifications which have been brought to the CFSP/ESDP policies and I analyze their impact in relation to one of the first objectives of the EU, that of achieving political integration.
