The European Union and the Reform of the United Nations: Towards a More Effective Security Council?

The European Union and the Reform of the United Nations: Towards a More Effective Security Council?

Nicoletta Pirozzi Hubertus Juergenliemk Yolanda Spies

 
Abstract
This paper aims to assess the possible impact of the Lisbon Treaty on the EU’s
presence and performance at the United Nations and outline the prospects for future
developments under three main dimensions: coordination (among EU member states
and institutions); representation (of the EU as a single actor); and impact (measured
in terms of what the EU and its member states collectively achieve). In particular,
these benchmarks will be used to evaluate what influence the positions of the
Union’s institutions and member states produce on the crucial issue of UN Security
Council’s reform. Moreover, it offers an analysis of the EU’s cooperation with other
regional entities, primarily the African Union, at the UN and provides a model for
testing the possible role of regional organizations and the evolution of regionalism
within the UN system.
