“…, 2006), the assumed link is still widely used in arguing in favour of institutional reform of EU foreign policy‐making 2 . The straightforward relationship is also cited by the European Commission in court cases where it claims an extension of its competence in the external representation of the EU in international negotiations and organizations (Meunier and Nicolaïdis, 1999; Meunier, 2000; Griller and Weidel, 2002; Eeckhout, 2004).…”

“…Although recent findings demonstrate that the relationship between the degree of the EU's international actorness and the institutional set-up of the policy-making process is not so straightforward (Young, 2003;Vogler, 2005;Rhinard and Kaeding, 2006;Chaban et al, 2006), the assumed link is still widely used in arguing in favour of institutional reform of EU foreign policymaking. 2 The straightforward relationship is also cited by the European Commission in court cases where it claims an extension of its competence in the external representation of the EU in international negotiations and organizations (Meunier and Nicolaïdis, 1999;Meunier, 2000;Griller and Weidel, 2002;Eeckhout, 2004).…”

In this article we examine the relationship between the institutional set-up of the EU foreign policy-making process and the international actorness of the EU in two particular cases: the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto Protocol. Whereas in both cases policy-making is organized along intergovernmental lines, the EU has shown a relatively high degree of international actorness. We argue that this is the combined result of the considerable congruence of EU Member States' initial preferences and the social interactions between EU Member States, third countries and non-state actors, through which preferences converged even further over time.
