Abstract
Before conducting an empirical analysis of the causes and consequences of integrated policies among EU member states and institutions through the High Representative’s (HR) role in the cases of Kosovo and Ukraine, it is crucial to place EU foreign and security policy processes occurring under the Lisbon Treaty (LT) in their institutional setting. Within the current institutional framework the HR finds herself/himself at the crossroad between the supranational and the intergovernmental side of EU foreign and security policies. However, existing legal provisions do not provide enough indication on whether to conceptualize this institutional post as an autonomous political actor—part of the political executive of the EU—or as an implementing branch of the European Council and of the member states reunited within this intergovernmental forum.
