Formiranje Evropske službe za spoljno delovanje kao doprinos Evropske unije uspostavljanju međunarodne prakse održivog razvoja

Abstract

Rad razmatra institucionalne promene u Evropskoj uniji (EU) čije realizovanje započinje stupanjem na snagu Ugovora iz Lisabona čime se omogućava da EU na globalnom planu a posebno pri glavnom multilateralnom okviru Ujedinjenih nacija (UN) diplomatski deluje na stvaranju saglasnosti za definisanje međunarodne prakse održivog razvoja. Fokus je na formiranju Evropske službe za spoljno delovanje (ESSD) koja je od Ugovora iz Lisabona novo osnovno telo za pružanje podrške celokupnom diplomatskom delovanju EU. Osnovna pretpostavka na kojoj se rad zasniva jeste da EU osnivanjem ESSD započinje svojevrsnu objedinjujuću diplomatiju kojom vodi uspostavljanju međunarodne prakse održivog razvoja.Svi odnosi, procesi, strukture, delovanja i akterske jedinice posmatraju se kroz prizmu teorije prakse vođenja diplomatije i posebno u njoj oblikovano razumevanje zajednice praksi čijom se primenom postiže osvetljavanje zajedništva delovanja EU vođenjem objedinjujuće diplomatije Evropske komisije i Visokog predstavnika koje svojim radom podržava ESSD. Jedan od doprinosa diplomatskih aktivnosti ESSD politici održivog razvoja prepoznaje se i u prenošenju nadležnosti upravljanja Evropskom mrežom zelene diplomatije na ESSD 2012. godine. Zaključnim razmatranjima navodi se da ESSD jeste činjenično osnovana kao prvo autonomno funkcionalno telo EU i prvo zajedničko telo za podršku vođenju diplomatije EU. Kao takvo telo ključan je akter od koga polaze sve diplomatske aktivnosti i drugih institucija EU, a koje bez stručne i ekspertske podrške ESSD ne bi uspešno obavljale svoje zadatke. Iako ne apsolutno samostalna ova služba je značajan točak u mehanizmu uspostavljanja međunarodne prakse održivog razvoja.

This paper intends to assess institutional changes undertaken by the European Union (EU) once thv e Treaty of Lisbon came into force in December 2009. The main goal is to describe how establishing the European External Action Service (EEAS) as a leading diplomatic service of the EU is a crucial step toward practicing a joined-up approach in diplomacy or so-called integrated diplomacy. The intention is to bring closer the idea of the newly established diplomatic service of the EU consisting of EEAS as the main support to all external activities. Together with the High Representative and EU Delegations in third countries and international organizations, this newly established diplomatic service represents the EU with one voice ultimately coherently and successfully. Furthermore, this institution is one of the main characters to make international sustainable development practice possible. In 2012 EEAS took over presiding and monitoring the EU Green Diplomacy Network. The mentioned is considered as just one of the assets in contributing to the upgraded EU diplomatic service that helps reach sustainable development goals and European climate neutrality until 2050. Practice theory and specific community practice approaches have been used in this research and writing process. EU, together with its institution EEAS, High representative, EU Delegation, and European Commission, are considered a specific community of practice. Of course, relations with the UN and enhanced EU status within this multilateral framework are of utmost importance in concluding that the EU is the most significant contributor to sustainable development globally. This paper tries to explain the newly established approach of integrated diplomacy reflected in the diplomacy of the EEAS. Additionally, the expertise provided by this service to all EU institutions is the central indicator of how one diplomatic body and practice can be successful, especially when it comes to the sustainable development area. The concluding remarks elaborate that EEAS, using not just Green Diplomacy Network but all assets on disposal, is trying to have the global reach and effect. This influence consists of making a network of people, locally and globally, that understand how sustainable development is crucial for the Universe as a whole. Fostering that idea deeply in all spheres of EU actions and practices makes EEAS and EU main contributors to international sustainable development practice on three specific levels: EU member states, third countries and within the UN multilateral framework
