The European Union efficacy in the negotiations versus veto players

The article presents the results of the analysis of the EU’s negotiation power from the Tsebelis’ Veto Player Theory perspective, that was conducted on the basis of the two particular international negotiations with the United States and analyzes the likely influence of the veto players and their number on the final result of the negotiations. In order to verify if the veto players have influence on the negotiations’ result and how great it is, the negotiations with various decision-making procedures were chosen and a special research model was created. In response to the analysis, Tsebelis’ theory was adapted to the international negotiation area and it was broadened by the aspect of other mechanisms that can block the decision-making process veto points.
