Master's Thesis from the year 2002 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: B+ (12 von 15 Punkten), University of Sussex, language: English, abstract: The dissertation will focus on the Convention on the Future of Europe whichwas launched in March 2002 and which is operating the task to prepare thenext Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) in 2004. Main issues on theConvention's working plan are a draft constitution and the preparation of EUinstitutions for the enlargement.Given that the Convention has started its work in March 2002 and willapproximately end in Spring / Summer 2003, its work is still in progress. Thatis why it would be difficult to write on the outcome and either predict or judgeits success. That is why the focus lies on the procedural arrangements withinthe Convention Method and explicitly not on its content. Therefore thedissertation will deal, in general, with the negotiation process. In detail, thefocus will examine the Convention's kind of procedural arrangements, theoperative mode and the working method or in short: the Convention Methodand its difference compared with former IGCs and their preparing groups.Thus, the dissertation's main part is build on four parts: The first chapter will set up a definition for an IGC while considering various perspective from legal over formal via practical to theoretical. Then, the second chapter willintroduce the history and the task of IGCs and their preparing groups bylooking at the setting, procedural arrangements and the mandate, whilst inthe third chapter, both conventions, the Convention on the Charter ofFundamental Rights and the Convention on the Future of Europe in thescope of the IGC 2004 will be studied. Then in the final fourth chapter, thekey question of "What makes the difference?" will be discussed. Further keyquestions that fall into the scope of the negotiation process touches to whatextend the kind of negotiation process influence the outcome, theharmonization of actors' position as well as actors' behaviour.
