Common security and defence policy of the european union in modern political Theory
Sustainable development of integration process in thepostwar Europe promoted emergence of a new scientific discipline known as European studies,which pools social sciences and humanities for investigation of different aspects of European integration.One of the most dynamical developing schools of European studies is studying Common Foreignand Security Policy of the European Union (EU), affected by consistent development of integration inthis sphere in the 1990-2000s.As author notes, the phenomenon of the Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) of the EUis difficult to explain for political science and thats why the majority of its scientific/pseudoscientificstudies has a descriptive character. According to that, author puts a question: How and to which degreecan existing integration theories and international relations and foreign policy theories explain theCSDP and thereby become a theoretical basis for its scientific analysis?As classic European integration theories federalism and neofunctionalism are reviewed: the firstconsiders the CSDP to be an end of European integration in itself but doesnt explain its institutionaldevelopment and failures while remaining an influential political philosophy; the second explains theendogenous logic of integration, focusing on supranational institutions, and therefore doesnt examinethe CSDP. Neorealism is skeptical about the future of the CSDP, but interprets its emergence via thechange of the system of international relations and serves as ideological basis for intergovernmentalism,upon which the majority of CSDP studies is rested. Neoliberal theories dont consider the militaryaspects of the CSDP, but explain its civil dimension as well as only little progress in the CSDP in relationto economic spheres and coexistence of different security institutions. Liberal intergovernmentalism,equally with neofunctionalism, is focused on delegation of authority and doesnt account for theCSDP, but helps to understand the change of positions at intergovernmental negotiations. Historicalinstitutionalism interprets the CSDP as a result of historical development of the European securityinstitutions as well as causes of European foreign policy change, but doesnt take procedural and systemfactors into account. Social constructivism explains the CSDP via Europeanization of the foreignpolicies of member states, as well as its failures via multiplicity of national identities.Author comes to a conclusion that no one of the reviewed theories can completely explain thephenomenon of the CSDP, however everyone can be used to explain some aspects of the CSDP andpartly its logic. Therefore a convincing CSDP study needs an approach integrating their strong pointsinto an analytical model corresponding to its subject matter.
