Abstract
By the end of June 2009, all Member States of the EU except Ireland had ratified Lisbon Treaty. In order to help persuade Irish people to vote for the Lisbon Treaty in another referendum, the European Council adopted the formal decision on 19 June 2009, which granted Ireland special immunities and rights under the Treaty. The European Council also announced the expectation that the Treaty should enter into effect on 1 June, 2009. The new Treaty was drafted with the purpose of completing vital institutional reforms, which aimed to make the EU more active in world affairs and more democratic and efficient in its internal governance. Accordingly, this paper employs a framework of analysis based on institutionalism to analyze the probable impact of the new Treaty on both the external actions and internal governance of the EU. In conclusion, I attempt to answer whether, and in what ways, the institutional reforms pushed through by Lisbon Treaty could strengthen EU capacities for external action on the one hand, and democratic life and efficiency in its internal governance on the other.
