Abstract

Over the last ten years, the EU Special Representatives (EUSRs) have pioneered EU foreign policy in countries and regions of direct interest to the Union. EUSRs are a face of the Union, enhancing its visibility, and they give it a voice, seeking to deliver a single message to local and international partners. In addition, they provide information and analysis from the field to EU decision-making bodies and they help coordinate the panoply of instruments that the EU deploys on the ground. In a permanent interaction with EU institutions and Member States, the EUSRs play therefore an important role in EU foreign policy. The function of the EUSRs has been developing in a relatively pragmatic, and not always effective, way. Their number has grown from two in 1996 to nine today, and their geographical scope and policy mandates have been steadily expanding. What are the main tasks of the EUSRs? How has their role evolved over time? How do the EUSRs fit and deliver within the EU institutional framework? This Chaillot Paper seeks to address these questions, and outlines some proposals on what could be done to enhance the performance of the EU Special Representatives. The measure of the success of the EUSRs in fulfilling their mandate is a relevant indicator of the success of the Union as an international actor. The experience of the EUSRs reflects the achievements of EU foreign and security policy over the last few years, and dispenses important lessons with a view to introducing future innovations.

Abstract

Is there an « Albanian question » ? If so, what is it ? Is it a traditional « national question », centred on the dream of a « Greater Albania » that would gather in all the Albanian communities in the Balkans ? Many outside observers, in particular among the Albanians’ neighbours in the Balkans, see it that way and fear its destabilising consequences, but none of the contributors to this Chaillot Paper finds this scenario convincing. The core of the Albanian national question today is Kosovo, an issue that has the power to unite Albanians in the Balkans and in the sizeable diaspora communities spread across the globe. While the answer – for Albanians – is independence for Kosovo, beyond that, views diverge. It seems that only a minority of Albanians remain committed to the project of Pan-Albanian political unification. Most Albanians are fully aware of the diversity of interests of the various Albanian communities in the Balkans, who have lived in different states over the past century. The end of communism made it much easier for Albanians to keep in contact with each other, but this did not lead to greater national cohesion. The dramatic « high politics » of the Kosovo issue tends to obscure the fact that for most Albanians, the most urgent questions today are not « national » ones at all, but questions of economic underdevelopment, unemployment, the quality of democratic governance, political corruption and criminality, and the emigration of large numbers of the brightest and best of the younger generation. None of these challenges is unique to the Albanians, but they possess a particular asset in their young diaspora in the West, closely linked via the internet with young democracy activists in the Albanians’ Balkans homelands. This new generation of Albanians aims to leap out of the isolation and introversion of traditional village and clan-based politics to form a new ‘post-modern’ transnational political community, committed to building democracy within their states and across them

Abstract

Tot voor kort wist Europa één ding zeker: we kunnen altijd rekenen op stabiele bondgenoten aan de andere kant van de Noordzee en de Atlantische Oceaan. Maar met de Amerikaanse president Trump in het Witte Huis en de aanstaande Brexit keren de Verenigde Staten en het Verenigd Koninkrijk zich steeds verder af van het continent. Terugkijkend op de geschiedenis is het niet de eerste keer dat ze dit doen. Maar de cruciale vraag is: kan de Europese Unie nu wel zonder hen?In De rafelranden van Europa beschreef historicus en politiek analist Ivo van de Wijdeven eerder al de interactie met Rusland, Turkije, het Midden-Oosten en Noord-Afrika door de eeuwen heen. Daarmee wierp hij licht op de drijfveren van de spelers op het Europese toneel. Nu duikt Van de Wijdeven dieper in de geschiedenis van Europa's langdurige haatliefdeverhouding met het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de Verenigde Staten. Is de 'Anglosfeer' de nieuwe rafelrand van Europa? En moeten we ons daar zorgen over maken?Bron : http://www.bol.com
