Abstract
En la presente tesis, titulada “La política exterior y de seguridad de la Unión Europea hacia África Subsahariana: Estudio de caso de Sudán (1956-2011) e implicaciones para la política de la UE”, estudiamos la política exterior y de seguridad de la UE hacia el continente africano, centrando nuestro interés en las políticas de desarrollo y de seguridad formuladas e implementadas en el caso sudanés. El trabajo de investigación se apoya sobre un gran corpus de fuentes primarias (150 entrevistas semiestructuradas) y secundarias, siendo de importancia fundamental los datos obtenidos en el trabajo de campo realizado en Sudán durante 2010-2011, así como en Bruselas y otras capitales europeas durante 2011 y 2013. La literatura sobre la política exterior y de seguridad de la UE se ha centrado habitualmente en cuestiones predominantemente orientadas hacia asuntos de impacto, efectividad y coherencia de la UE como actor internacional, y en elucidar la brecha entre las expectativas como actor global y las capacidades limitadas efectivas en el terreno. Sin embargo, esta aproximación no responde a preguntas cruciales sobre los verdaderos factores que impulsan la política exterior y de seguridad europea y que contribuyen a su vez al desarrollo institucional de la UE y al proceso de integración europea. De esta forma, las cuestiones predominantes sobre la política exterior y de seguridad de la UE han tratado la fase a posteriori, es decir, los efectos de la implementación de la política exterior del actor UE y su relación con la política internacional (la dimensión exterior de la UE), alejándose de las motivaciones internas o raison d’être auténtica de tal acción exterior...
In the present thesis, entitled: “European Union Foreign and Security Policy towards Sub-Saharan Africa: Case Study of Sudan (1956-2011) and Implications for EU Policy”, I will examine the EU’s Foreign and Security Policy towards the African Continent, focusing specifically on the development and security policies formulated and implemented in the case of Sudan. This research relies on a wide body of primary (130 semi-structured interviews) and secondary sources. Of central importance will be fieldwork undertaken in Sudan during 2010-2011, as well as fieldwork undertaken in Brussels and other European capitals during 2011 and 2013. Literature dealing with the EU’s Foreign and Security Policy has usually concerned itself with the impact, effectiveness and coherence of the EU as an international actor and on elucidating the gap between its expectations as a global actor and its limited effective capacities in the field. However, this approach does not answer crucial questions pertaining to those real factors that underlie the EU Foreign and Security Policy and its contribution to the EU’s institutional development and to the ongoing process of European integration. On the contrary, issues concerning the EU’s Foreign and Security Policy have been dealt with, rather, in relation to the phase “a posteriori”. There has been, namely, an analysis of the effects of the implementation of the EU’s Foreign Policy, as an actor, and its relation with international politics (the external dimension of the EU)., We would then be witnesses to a clear detachment from internal motivations and the real raison d’être of such external action...
