The second aim is to test the applicability of two classic theories of international relations, realism and institutionalism, which have been modified as to better explain the CFSP. Both the „satisfactory realist explanation‟ and the „satisfactory institutionalist explanation‟ are shown to add significantly to the understanding of the behaviour of the EU states within United Nations system.
