Abstract
The European Union is presently exploring new territory through the operation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). However, politicians, lawyers and journalists are still divided into two camps when evaluating Title V of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and its prospects for practical implementation. On the one hand, a rather negative attitude is voiced, according to which the CFSP is nothing but a further formal codification of the policy alignment of EPC. According to this view, the CFSP will not lead to any substantive changes, because intergovernmentalism has been maintained. Consequently, the first camp argues that the modified institutional and legal framework, though constituting a formal reform, will not add anything in practice, because the achievement of objectives will continue to be entirely dependent on the political will of the partners involved.
