The aim of this project is to explore expectations of the upcoming Cyprus presidency of the EU Council in the second half of 2012. The accession negotiations with Turkey seem to be the key issue contested during the presidency and several member states including the candidate country itself have already voiced concern over the nature of the upcoming process and the capacity of the EU to act in line with its strategic and foreign policy commitments. Our analysis will explore the pre-emptive actions and coalition-building among the member states before the presidency, and further comparatively analyze it with the presidency's conduct. The output of the project will be a working paper based on field research and scrutiny of relevant European foreign policy documents that will explore expectations from the upcoming Cyprus presidency of the EU Council in the second half of 2012.
