High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy as a policy entrepreneur – Proposal for a research approach

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes a research approach for the examination of the involvement of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Issues (High Representative) in the policy-making process. The point of departure is constituted by the predominant view reflected in the literature of the High Representative being solely a constrained agent of the national capitals as a collective principal. A key limitation of the role of the High Representative seems to be that the decision-making power remain in the hands of the Member States. The proposed model introduces the category of a policy entrepreneur and shall examine to what extent, by acting as such, the High Representative can manage to enhance her discretion in relations to the collective principal.
