Walter Carlsnaes (2007: 549) notes a similar problem in the literature’s tendency to focus narrowly on the EU’s coordination of political relations through the Common Foreign and Security Policy and Common Security and Defense Policy, while neglecting other elements of the EU’s external relations, including trade policy.

While establishing the context for our policy chapters, this chapter helps to underline that the politics of trade policy are not static: societal and governmental preferences, intra-EU institutions, and the international balance of power have all changed over time.
