Abstract

Supranationalist and intergovernmentalist scholars have long debated the driving forces behind European integration. The creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS) forces an examination of this debate in a different way. Many of those countries pushing for the EEAS foresaw it as an intergovernmentalist institution during the Lisbon Treaty Negotiations. Indeed, its provisions upon implementation look strikingly intergovernmental. Despite its current form, the negotiating process between the European Commission and European Parliament during 2010 was sweepingly supranational in nature, as the EP asserted its influence as a democratically elected, pan- European body to demand changes to the final form of the EEAS as well as a greater oversight role. Though the present form of the EEAS is intergovernmental, the negotiating process has indicated that a more assertive Parliament may result in greater long-term, supranational developments.
