Taking its departure from the debate on the Iraq war, the article examines three
so-called „doctrines“ on European foreign policy. According to the first one,
there is no such thing as an EU foreign policy. This may come as a surprise for
policy-makers but is a common view among media commentators, analysts and
some diplomats. The second doctrine holds that the EU’s foreign policy has been,
is, and always will be a failure. Reasons for this gloomy view show considerable
variations and are most likely unsustainable in the long run. The third approach
is more optimistic, counting on the EU’s material volume, yet often ignoring the
need to politically cash in if international clout is the quest.
