Abstract
In 2002, the European Union (EU), the United States, Russia, and the United Nations coordinated their efforts to find a peaceful end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict collectively, as the Quartet for Middle East Peace. There are few examples of the EU represented as one by the supranational body on a global stage over a matter of foreign affairs. This paper asks how the EU and its institutions have been accepted by the other members of the Quartet, and whether or not the EU is an influential group member. The Road Map negotiations in late 2002 illustrate two important trends: the EU’s desire to foster a mutually acceptable, two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, and its persistent belief that the United States must remain impartially dedicated to the Middle East Peace Process. These proceedings demonstrate that the EU is accepted as a legitimate and indirectly influential force in the peace negotiations.
