“…The EU clearly has ambitions at foreign policy actorness, and the 'single voice mantra' (Nicolaïdis 2010) dominates political and academic assessments of its international influence. At the same time, as a system of regional integration, the EU consists of a multitude of more or less loosely coupled sectoral regimes.…”

This contribution proposes a decentred conceptualization of European Union (EU) international influence based on the external ramifications of its internal policies. It views the EU's international role less as that of an emerging unitary actor than as conglomerate of loosely coupled sectoral regimes expanding their prescriptive scope towards third countries in differentiated ways. Combining conceptual approaches to (EU) power with empirical-analytical research on external governance and policy diffusion, the contribution defines the mechanisms of regulatory extension, specifies their scope conditions, and highlights the role of transgovernmental networks, often involving international organizations, in 'co-opting' third country regulators into EU policies.

Braving the Waves? Europe's Constitutional Settlement at Twenty

This article reflects on the diagnosis proposed in 1998 by Moravcsik and Nicolaidis that the EU had reached an incipient constitutional settlement and makes two connected arguments. First, analytically, that contrary to the prevailing view, the EU's constitutional settlement is holding, although it has come under assault from federalists and sovereignists alike. The bicycle theory nevertheless continues to hold sway perhaps because paradigm shifts always exhibit significant lags. Second, normatively, to defend ‘the equilibrium’ does not amount to a defense of the status quo. On the contrary, and especially in the context of the eurozone crisis, we must reflect on the social foundations of the European project, of which intermittent democratic discontent is only one expression. The argument unfolds through four European cities, each regarding a different moment in the Constitutional saga of the last two decades, to conclude on the relationship between LI and demoicratic theory, as well as the promise of sustainable integration.

“…Writing a year later, Kalypso Nicolaïdis reinforced the call for sustainable integration. Her vision of a new European Union (EU 2.0) is one that accepts a ‘narrative diversity’ that goes even beyond the flexibility advocated by Schmidt (Nicolaïdis, 2010, p. 47). Like Schmidt, Nicolaïdis called for fundamental reform and decisive action.…”
