La influencia de la UE en las instituciones internacionales ha disminuido. Esta constatación es paradójica si tenemos en cuenta que la entrada en vigor del Tratado de Lisboa la ha dotado de mayor autoridad para actuar internacionalmente (instrumentos, instituciones, representación). La ha dotado de una «voz única». El artículo aborda la paradoja que vive hoy en día la UE; esto es, a mayor coherencia interna, menor influencia externa. Mediante tres casos de estudio, el artículo argumenta que para explicar la influencia de la UE en las instituciones internacionales hay que ir más allá del análisis de su voz única (necesaria, pero no suficiente, e, incluso, contraproducente) y tomar en consideración el cambio de la estructura de poder y el rechazo normativo que sufre la UE en un mundo cada vez más soberanista y menos occidentalocéntrico. ; he influence of the EU in interna-tional institutions has diminished. This obser-vation is somewhat paradoxical if we bear in mind that the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty has given the EU greater authority to act internationally (instruments, institutions, representation). It has given the Union a "sin-gle voice". This article examines the paradox that the EU is currently experiencing; that is, the greater its internal coherence, the less external influence it has. Through three case studies, the article argues that in order to explain the EU's influence on international institutions we must go beyond an analysis of its single voice (an element that is necessary, but not sufficient, and can even be counter-productive) and take into consideration the change in the power structure and the regulatory rejection from which the EU is suffering, in a world that is increasingly pro-sovereignty and less Western-centric.
