“…EU's external action driven by its interests would thus be expected to fall under the logic of consequences, and that driven by basic valuesunder the logic of appropriateness (for example, Schimmelfennig, 2010;Sjursen and Smith, 2004;Van Schaik and Schunz, 2012). The proposed framework for analyzing unintended consequences includes both imperious interests and basic values among the not-mutually-exclusive causes of unintended consequences and thus contributes to the literature that aims to overcome this either-or dichotomy and integrate both drivers or logics of EU external action (Gstoehl and Schunz, 2016).…”

The mainstream scholarship assessing EU external action frames the subject in terms of success or failure to achieve the intended effects, the latter generally defined against the EU's own stated objectives. Resting on a tacit assumption that EU engagement in third states is a good thing, these analyses are framed as ‘positive impact or no impact’ and tend to neglect the wider effects of EU policies. This article maintains that EU external action may and often does have unintended consequences, thus expanding the study of EU impact beyond the sheer study of EU effectiveness. Drawing on broader literature on unintended consequences, the article proposes a framework for analyzing unintended consequences of EU external action. It synthesizes and adapts to the EU context a classification of unintended consequences and, in order to illustrate its utility, applies the proposed framework to three empirical examples derived from EU neighbourhood, migration and trade policies.

“…Zudem stellt die Europäische Nachbarschaftspolitik (ENP) gegenüber Staaten ohne Aussicht auf EU-Mitgliedschaft das wichtigste Instrument ihrer regionalen Zusammenarbeit dar (Lippert 2017;Müller-Graff 2017). Die ENP richtet sich an Staaten Osteuropas und an die südliche Nachbarstaaten jenseits des Mittelmeers; beide Regionen werden zudem durch die Östliche Partnerschaft und die Union für das Mittelmeer unterstützt (Gstöhl und Schunz 2017;Lannon und Gstöhl 2015;Schumacher et al 2018). Über die unmittelbare Nachbarschaft hinaus zeichnet sich die EU als regionaler Akteur außerdem durch interregionale Zusammenarbeit aus, insbesondere mit den AKP-Staaten durch das Cotonou-Abkommen sowie die Kooperation mit anderen regionalen Organisationen wie ASEAN und Mercosur (Telò 2014).…”

Die Europäische Union tritt auf regionaler sowie globaler Ebene als internationaler Akteur auf. Die Europäische Union (EU) ist ein internationaler Akteur mit weltweitem Aktionsradius, der jedoch im Vergleich zu staatlichen Akteuren über eine Reihe von besonderen Eigenschaften verfügt. Diese Besonderheiten wirken sich auf die Qualität und Fähigkeiten der EU als internationaler Akteur aus. Zu den spezifischen Herausforderungen, vor denen die EU steht, zählen die Diversität und Differenz ihrer Institutionen und Mitgliedstaaten, Kohärenz und Effizienz ihres auswärtigen Handelns sowie Fragen der internen und externen Legitimität.Wir möchten Franziska Petri für die wissenschaftliche Mitarbeit und Übersetzung des Artikels aus dem Englischen danken.

“…Norm diffusion processes from international organizations to countries in its Eastern neighbourhood have been studied through a variety of analytical approaches, which can observed by taking into account the multiplicity of concepts that attempt to depict them: regulatory convergence (Langbein, 2011;, legal or regulatory approximation (Harpaz, 2014;Petrov & Elsuwege, 2014;Petrova & Delcour, 2020), rule transfer (Schimmelfennig & Sedelmeier, 2004;Casier, 2012;Buscaneanu, 2016: 65;Nizhnikau, 2017), policy transfer or policy adaptation (Kelley, 2006;Tulmets, 2007;Sasse, 2008;Ademmer, 2016) and finally norm diffusion, export, circulation or even transfer (Börzel & Risse, 2011;Kleibrink , 2011;Tulmets, 2014aTulmets, , 2014bGstöhl, 2017, Delcour & Tulmets, 2019Heinrichs, 2019). As stated above, this section will investigate how two different scholarly traditions have conceived how and through which mechanisms international organizations diffuse their norms to domestic contexts -Europeanization and policy transfer studies -and see what theoretical clarifications could be brought about by bridging between those traditions.…”

The Mundane Face of Europeanization: Norm Implementation through Expert Interactions in Georgia 2012-2020

Numerous studies, using the Europeanization theoreticalframework, have looked into why and how EU-supportednorms and policies are adopted in non EU-Member States, focusingeither on the mechanisms through which they are diffusedor on the local actors´ responses to such demands. However,the practical implementation of such norms and policies in thirdcountries has only received modest attention in academic andpolicy-related studies. Indeed, the “law in the books” is not necessarilythe “law in action”.Going beyond the top-down approach that have extensively characterized Europeanization studies, this dissertation will operatea return to the “mundane face” of Europeanization and looks intohow expert interactions matter for EU law implementation. It showsthat those experts ae highly enthusiast and willing to implement EUdemands and adapted them to fit in their domestic context. Theyact as policy champions and show high degrees of policy saliencywhen fulfilling their tasks. Nevertheless, those champions operatein a difficult administrative and political environment that complicatesEU law compliance, with low administrative capacity, highdegree of staff turn-over, shortages of knowledgeable staff andpolitical actors that might hinder EU law implementation if it is toocostly or in contradiction with domestic vested interests.
