    Momentum and Impediments: Why Europe Won't Emerge as a Full Political Actor on the World Stage Soon
    in Journal of Common Market Studies , Volume 47, Issue 3, June 2009 ,  2009 ,  555-578
    Is Europe about to rise as a full political actor on the world stage? Conventional wisdom had it that European integration in foreign policy, security and defence was unlikely to amount to much very quickly. More recently, however, a diverse group of scholars has argued that pan-European political actorhood had gained considerable substance. Surveying the recent literature, pertinent related writings and relevant primary materials on the matter, this article identifies and systematizes the many different factors affecting European high-politics actorhood in the early 21st century. A fully grown international actor Europe, it finds, remains a longer-term project rather than an imminent prospect.
