| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 國際政治研究所 === 102 === European Military Integration started in the beginning of cold war. However it is always under the table since the anti-communist bloc is under the command of the NATO let by the United States. After the Signature of the Maastricht Treaty, the military begins to make further progress gradually under the framework of EU’s second pillar, Common Foreign and Security Policy. After the cumulation of the Treaty of Amsterdam, Treaty of Nice, the Treaty of Lisbon, the new European Integration framework has been built under the comprise of UK, Germany and France to confirm the Common Security and Defence Policy, an institution operated with the concept of Intergovernmentalism.
The military integration is a high political agenda, normally analysed by the concept of Intergovernmentalism. Andrew Moravcsik adjusted the traditional Intergovernmentalsim adopted by Stanlley Hoffman et. al., and developed a new plural framework called “Liberal-Intergovernmentalism” to analyze the European Integration after the signature of Single European Act 1993. On the basis of this theory, rational choice can be divided into three analytical stages: First Analytical Stage, domestic interest groups of the member states compromise each other for their competitions to form the national interests or state preferences. The Second Analytical Stage, nations bargain each in the governmental meetings through interests exchange or bargain powers to protect their own national interests to make a satisfactory outcome. Final Analytical Stage, the institution is chosen.
This dissertation is to research the historical background and interest groups of the United Kingdom, Germany and France to find out their roles in the political arena composed of different preferences due to their various cultures and their approaches to affect their governments’ national interests policy. In the course of the military integration, governments bargain their national interests with negotiation and power competition to determine the final institution. We can find out that national interest compromised in the Treaty of Lisbon and its Common Security and Defence Policy, institutes establishment and military measures and so on mainly made by the UK, Germany and France.
