The Forming of Ep istemic Communities of the European Union: national and Euro-diplomats
Abstract
The article considers the specific features of
epistemic communities functioning in diplomatic communities
of the European Union. The author puts forward a hypothesis
that there are two epistemic communities within the diplomatic
space of Europe that can be characterized as national and
euro-diplomats. Since the establishment of the European
External Action Service there is a tendency for some changes
in the activity of these two communities. Their coexistence
can be described now as complementarity in parallelism. It
is the variable geometry of representation of the national and
supranational diplomatic systems that makes the EU diplomacy
unique.
