Abstract
This chapter addresses how the EU engages with various global governance actors and navigates these relational webs. We draw attention to the EU's competencies, its structuring powers, and how it navigates its organizational environment. First, we highlight the expanding EU's issue scope and membership over time. Second, we discuss the EU's variable competencies and actorness in external affairs. These two sections set the stage for examining the formal powers that the EU has in speaking and acting on behalf of its membership, but also its structural powers that can shape global governance arrangements through issue linkages and regulations. Third, we assess EU strategies that navigate global governance arrangements and examine how the EU exploits densely institutionalized governance spaces and overlaps in membership and mandates with other organizations to pursue its preferences. Overall, this analytical lens decenters the EU and questions EU narratives about its liberal aspirations and vision for global governance.
