The European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) represents a significant effort to project a unified European voice in international affairs. Established under the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, the CFSP was designed to allow the EU to coordinate the foreign policy of its member states, pursue common security objectives, and enhance its influence globally. Unlike the EU’s internal policies, which often have supranational authority, the CFSP remains intergovernmental in nature, meaning that decisions require consensus among member states rather than majority voting. This structural distinction has both shaped its strengths and imposed notable limitations. The CFSP was conceived in response to the growing recognition that Europe’s collective influence in global diplomacy and security matters could be far greater than the sum of its individual member states’ efforts. By pooling resources and coordinating foreign policy positions, the EU aimed to address global challenges more effectively, ranging from conflicts in neighboring regions to issues such as terrorism, human rights, and climate change. The policy framework encompasses both diplomatic and security dimensions, combining civilian and military instruments, including crisis management operations, conflict prevention initiatives, and humanitarian assistance. One of the notable strengths of the CFSP is its capacity to provide a normative and diplomatic presence. The EU frequently emphasizes values such as human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in its external engagements. This normative approach allows it to differentiate itself from other global powers, such as the United States, China, or Russia, which often rely on hard power or strategic interests more directly. The EU’s ability to attach conditionality, such as through trade agreements or development assistance, has allowed it to leverage its economic power in pursuit of foreign policy objectives, as seen in its enlargement strategy in Eastern Europe and engagement with developing countries. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) under the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 further strengthened the
