Özet:

A common foreign policy issue, one of the important dimensions and debates of European integration was able to show a very limited development due to the international conjuncture and its own dynamics. During the Cold War, the EU has tried to identify common foreign policy in many areas but the fact that member countries did not want to give up their sovereignty rights in foreign policy matters and there were restrictions imposed by bipolarity in the world system led to the very limited ability of the EU to influence international relations. However, the end of the Cold War created a suitable ground for redefining the global role of the EU. Indeed it appears that the EU has increased its capacity and capacity as an actor in international relations in the post-Cold War era and played an important role in international politics. The aim of this study is to find answers to questions what kind of power an actor with a political structure, such as the EU represents in international politics, what the components of its capacity are, to what extent a policy can be harmonized and to what extent common policies are implemented. In the light of this response, the EU has become an important actor in international relations after the creation of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy. In doing so, since Member States are willing to maintain a limited level of cooperation in the field of foreign policy, it will be shown that the EU’s actorness could continue as a civil and regulatory power.
