      Special issue – the Emerging EU Diplomatic System
      Editors: Jan Melissen and Paul Sharp
      Guest Editors: Petar Petrov, Karolina Pomorska and Sophie Vanhoonacker Book Review Editors: Maaike Okano-Heijmans and Kevin D.Stringer

      In its first issue of 2012, co-edited by Petar Petrov, Karolina Pomorska and Sophie Vanhoonacker, the Hague Journal of Diplomacy brings together a series of articles by scholars and practitioners highlighting different dimensions of the post-Lisbon EU diplomatic system. Working on the establishment of a more coherent and effective European foreign policy appears to be difficult, not in the least because decision-makers cannot agree on whether the staff should come from the Commission, the Council Secretariat or the national capitals. However, several of the contributors warn against too hasty conclusions and point to the need to give the new service the time to get up and run properly. The question remains whether in a rapidly changing international and diplomatic context the EU can afford to wait. In short, the newly established European External Action Service suffers from the behaviour of member states and the different EU-institutions, as they have mainly been preoccupied with defending their institutional interests.
