Summary/Abstract: By applying the realist, liberal and constructivist approaches to International Relations, in the light of the position the European Union holds in world politics, we are going to answer the question whether the aforementioned theoretical approaches see (do not see) a global actorness for the European Union. Each of the approaches answers the question of the EU’s own manifestation of its actor capacity—by means of using the concepts of the hard, the soft, and the normative power in the analysis. This shall be a way to investigating the degree of EU’s (global) actorness, as well as to testing its actorness through the actual implementation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy via the three aforementioned concepts of power.
