Resum:
|
The aim of this article is to analyse those situations in which learning and socialisation take place within the context of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), in particular, at the level of experts in the Council Working Groups. Learning can explain the institutional development of CFSP and changes in the foreign policies of the Member States. Some
scope conditions for learning and channels of
institutionalisation are identified. Socialisation, resulting from learning within a group, is perceived as a strategic action by reflective actors. National diplomats, once they arrive in Brussels, learn the new code of conduct of their Working Groups. They are embedded in two environments and faced
with two logics: the European one in the Council and the national one in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The
empirical evidence supports the argument that neither rational nor sociological approaches alone can account for these processes. |
