European Foreign Policy Scorecard 2013
Source: European Council on Foreign Relations
From the Preface:
(W)e assessed the collective performance of all EU actors, rather than looking at the action of any particular institution or member state. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of Europe as a global actor, we focused on policies and results rather than on institutional processes. We assigned two scores – “unity” and “resources”, each graded out of 5 – for European policies themselves, and a third score – “outcome”, graded out of 10 – for results. The sum of these scores was then translated into a letter grade.
We also continued to evaluate the role played by individual member states on 30 out of the 80 components of European foreign policy in which they played a particularly significant role. With the help of researchers in the 27 EU member states, we classified each member state into three nominal categories as being either a “leader”, a “supporter”, or a “slacker” in each of these 30 components. Such a categorisation obviously involves a political judgment. However, we have strived to continue refining the process this year by explaining the reasoning that led to the assigning of each category.
