Abstract
Este artículo analiza la política europea desarrollada por el Gobierno de José Luís Rodríguez Zapatero desde su elección en marzo de 2004 hasta mediados de 2007. A lo largo de estos tres años, muy marcados por la crisis constitucional de la Unión Europea, el Gobierno del PSOE ha buscado definir una agenda y unas alianzas propias y diferenciadas del anterior Gobierno del PP. En primer lugar, la nueva política europea se ha caracterizado por el mantenimiento del pragmatismo, la normalización del disenso y la búsqueda de la recuperación de las alianzas con Francia y Alemania. En segundo lugar, el Gobierno ha tenido que adaptar el sí español al Tratado Constitucional de la UE, aprobado por referéndum, al nuevo contexto de una Unión ampliada en el que se ha negociado el todavía difuso Tratado de Reforma de la UE. Y, finalmente, España también ha influido en aquellos ámbitos en los cuales la Unión más ha avanzado recientemente (política migratoria, energética y de defensa).
This article analyzes the European policy developed by the Government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero from the General Elections in Match 2004 to mid-2007. During these three years, which they have been deeply influenced by the EU constitutional crisis, the Socialist Government has tried to define its own agendas and alliances differentiated from the previous Conservative Administration. First, the main characteristics of this new European policy have been the maintenance of pragmatism, the normalization of the dissent and the effort to revitalize the alliances with France and Germany. Second, the Government has had to adapt the Spanish 'yes' vote to the EU Constitutional Treaty, approved by referendum, to the new enlarged EU context where the member states have negotiated the EU Reform Treaty which is still vague. Finally, Spain has also been influential in those areas where lately the Union has progressed the most (Migrations, Energy and Defence policies).
