- W1485371944 abstract "Despite their explicit intent to speak with a single voice in foreign affairs, EU memberstates manage to do so only some of the time. Which are the factors that determinewhether or not the EU member states successfully coordinate their positions in theinternational arena? To find out, I propose to examine the voting behaviour of the EUmember states inside the United Nations General Assembly; a forum in which,notwithstanding heterogeneous policy preferences, they intend to coordinate theirvotes and are thus subject to coordination pressures. This means that for divisiveresolutions, each member state must try to reconcile its national policy preferencewith the objective of casting a unified vote. I hypothesise that the balance a memberstate strikes generally depends on how important it views the issue at hand, howpowerful it is, what type of relationship it maintains with the EU and under certainconditions, what type of relationship it maintains with US. I further argue that thebalance is expected to tip in favour of EU unity when increasing the collectivebargaining power by working together becomes a tangible objective. By adopting amulti-method approach, the thesis shows that the EU member states make a genuineand continuous effort to coordinate their votes inside the General Assembly.Significantly, the thesis illustrates that member states, at times, are able to overridetheir heterogeneous national policy preference in order to stand united. I conclude byconnecting the findings with the constructivist/rationalist debate, which juxtaposesforeign policy cooperation according to the logic of appropriateness with the logic ofconsequence. The results obtained have implications not only for the study of EUvoting behaviour in the United Nations, but also for theoretical debate underlying it." @default.
