TL;DR: The principle of policy coherence has been the object of a contentious debate in the European Union's external relations, though discussions have been limited mainly to its foreign policy and its ability to speak with one voice in the international arena as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The principle of policy coherence has been the object of a contentious debate in the European Union’s external relations, though discussions have been limited mainly to its foreign policy and its ability to speak with one voice in the international arena. Despite being institutionalized in the Treaty of Maastricht, policy coherence for development (PCD), which implies taking into account the needs and interest of developing countries in non‐aid policies, failed to make headway in the EU, remaining the unheeded concern of some NGOs and a small group of member states. A change in direction occurred in the early 2000s when the European Commission, taking advantage of a number of favourable conditions and using an astute strategy, managed to set an ambitious agenda for the EU. This article, nevertheless, shows that promoting PCD risks being a ‘mission impossible’ for whoever attempts it due to the interplay of various issues and interests, the different commitment to international development of the ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the relationship between the institutional set-up of the EU foreign policy-making process and the international actorness of EU in two particular cases: the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto Protocol, and argue that this is the combined result of the considerable congruence of EU Member States’ initial preferences and the social interactions between EU member States, third countries and non-state actors, through which preferences converged even further over time.
Abstract: In this article we examine the relationship between the institutional set-up of the EU foreign policy-making process and the international actorness of the EU in two particular cases: the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto Protocol. Whereas in both cases policy-making is organized along intergovernmental lines, the EU has shown a relatively high degree of international actorness. We argue that this is the combined result of the considerable congruence of EU Member States’ initial preferences and the social interactions between EU Member States, third countries and non-state actors, through which preferences converged even further over time.

TL;DR: The Earth System Governance project (ESG) as discussed by the authors is a global research alliance that explores novel, effective governance mechanisms to cope with the current transitions in the biogeochemical systems of the planet.
Abstract: The Earth System Governance project is a global research alliance that explores novel, effective governance mechanisms to cope with the current transitions in the biogeochemical systems of the planet. A decade after its inception, this article offers an overview of the project's new research framework (which is built upon a review of existing earth system governance research), the goal of which is to continue to stimulate a pluralistic, vibrant and relevant research community. This framework is composed of contextual conditions (transformations, inequality, Anthropocene and diversity), which capture what is being observed empirically, and five sets of research lenses (architecture and agency, democracy and power, justice and allocation, anticipation and imagination, and adaptiveness and reflexivity). Ultimately the goal is to guide and inspire the systematic study of how societies prepare for accelerated climate change and wider earth system change, as well as policy responses.
