This article analyses the innovations introduced by the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to the Common Foreign and Security Policy. The article first examines the structure of the European Union's external relations after the Treaty of Lisbon. Secondly it analyses two of the most important innovations, namely, the new position of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European External Action Service. Thirdly, it outlines the future difficulties and challenges of the two innovations. The article demonstrates that these institutions' main aim is to ensure the consistency of EU's external action. In conclusion it is pointed out that these innovations do not provide all the necessary remedies for the shortcomings of the EU's external relations, but do provide the necessary basis upon which progress and change in the development of more consistent external relations can be realised, in particular by establishing the cornerstone of a new European-level of diplomacy.

In the article the Author examines the current natural gas demand and supply of the EU and the possible changes in the near future. The constantly growing natural gas demand and decrease in domestic gas production makes the EU more and more dependent on foreign energy suppliers, particularly, on Russia. Therefore, the external relations of EU with present and potential gas suppliers and transit countries are playing crucial role in ensuring EU energy security. The Author also analyses the potential threats for the EU energy security that may pose aggressive external energy policy of Russia and China.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the essence of the European Union's development policy in the interdisciplinary perspective. To this end, it examines the legal and factual circumstances and determinants of this policy. It scrutinizes the principles and functioning of the EU development policy as well as its challenges and obstacles. In the context of changes taking place at the dawn of the new century, the paper addresses the following questions: what is the extent of the EU development policy institutionalisation; what is the attitude of political elites in Europe to the idea of international aid. The article aims to verify the assumption that the 1990s and early 21st century marked a significant revaluation of the European Union's development policy. On the one hand, development policy is becoming more crucial and comprehensive in character for the EU and its Member States. On the other hand, the current premises of EU development policy do not fully match the real needs of developing countries as it often lacks both sufficient coherence and effective co-ordination. EU development policy is divergent and multi-dimensional in nature. Hence an interdisciplinary approach seems to offer the most appropriate set of research tools. Full explanatory success can be achieved solely by reference to several theories/models. The complexity of the subject matter has made it necessary to employ a broad and wide-ranging research approach to attain an overall understanding of the problems reviewed.
