A lack of international identity is less responsible for the shortcomings of the external relations of the European Union than is widely assumed. Under the conditions of globalization & regionalization internal & external developments are responsible for the efficiency of the EU's external relations. Given the existing international "interlocking order" the current structure of the system of European external relations -- ie, the mixture of supranational & intergovernmental structures -- is promising.
