The IVF Minilateralism project – Minilateral Cooperation in the EU Internal Cohesion, Group Dynamics, and Voting Behaviour of Selected State Blocks (project title: Comparing Minilateralisms in the EU: Cooperation within the V4 and other Minilateral Groupings) aims to provide an extensive analysis about how selected minilateral groups function in the EU.
The numerous regionally and functionally organised groups formed by the EU Member States over the last ten years have become increasingly important in the EU’s policy formulation. These various groups promote integration within the EU by bringing new dynamics to European politics, while also contributing to the further fragmentation of the Union.
During the last two to three years, an increasing number of scientific articles concerning European minilateralisms have been published. Many of these articles not only examine the phenomenon of minilateralism, but also provide a good theoretical and methodological framework for further research. However, comprehensive research regarding the inner cohesion of minilateral groups, the level of their effectiveness, and their success to act collectively has not been conducted as of yet.
This project aims to examine and compare the functionality and effectiveness of six different minilateral groups which in part often, in part just sometimes operate collectively to influence the decision-making processes within the EU institutions.
The six groups in question are
the Benelux,
the E3,
the Mediterranean Seven,
the Nordic-Baltic Six,
the Visegrad Group,
the Weimar Triangle.
Partcipants: IFAT, SFPA, EUROPEUM
The project is supported by the International Visegrad Fund.
