Voici quelques extraits d’une table ronde tenue le 8 avril 2010 pour discuter du pass\u00e9, le pr\u00e9sent et l’avenir de la politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re de l’UE \u00e0 Washington tenue par la Brookings Institution, un organisme sans but lucratif de politique publique bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Washington.<\/p>\n
La Brookings Institution est l’un des plus anciens think tanks, sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans la recherche et la formation dans les domaines des sciences sociales, essentiellement en \u00e9conomie, en politiques urbaines, gouvernance, affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, \u00e9conomie mondiale et d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n
Invit\u00e9 Andrew Moravcsik, Professeur de sciences politiques – directeur du programme Union Europ\u00e9enne \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 de Princeton.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00ab\u00a0After all, in foreign policy it is possible for Lady Ashton to create that kind of coordinated effort that was needed and was impossible before. Now she\u2019s going to have — and let us hope it will be creative — the single diplomatic service. I rely enormously on it because, you see, a difficulty that we have had in Europe since the beginning has been that there is no geopolitical vision linked to Europe<\/strong>. You have always had the vision of France, the vision of Germany, the vision of the U.K., perhaps the vision of Italy and of Spain, each of them linked to this part of the world more than to that other one. But necessarily because geopolitical visions are the product of our diplomatic services, they serve their own countries. There is no reason for a French diplomat not to have a view that has France as the first sort of attention, and the same is true for Germany, the same is true for the U.K. Now this single diplomatic service will be the first experience of people, of a staff, having the mission of identifying the best interests of Europe in several areas of the world in connection with the interests of the partners. If they can\u2019t do it, I cannot write another treaty forcing them to do it because it\u2019s an impossible kind of mission\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n Ce panel fait partie d’une s\u00e9rie commune d’expos\u00e9s et de discussions sur l’avenir de l’Union europ\u00e9enne. En vedette Giuliano Amato, ancien Premier ministre italien, qui a \u00e9crit une pr\u00e9face pour le livre, Andrew Moravcsik, professeur \u00e0 Princeton, qui ont contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l’ouvrage pr\u00e9sent\u00e9; Dan Hamilton, directeur du Centre pour les relations transatlantiques, et Pierre Vimont, ambassadeur fran\u00e7ais aux \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/p>\n Michael Calingaert, chercheur invit\u00e9 au CUSE, a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le panel, et Federiga Bindi a anim\u00e9 le d\u00e9bat.<\/p>\nNote:<\/h4>\n
