    El artículo se centra en el análisis de los desafíos más importantes que la UE ha de afrontar en el ámbito de la diplomacia multilateral, tras las importantes innovaciones institucionales contenidas en el Tratado de Lisboa, y específicamente tras la creación del SEAE. De manera más precisa, se identifican y discuten críticamente diez grandes desafíos en este terreno, así como su posible relación con las dimensiones instrumentales del nuevo SEAE, y de las diversas instituciones multilaterales respectivamente. El artículo sugiere que el despliegue de las singulares dimensiones formales e institucionales del mismo se verá en cierto modo empequeñecido, al menos a corto y medio plazo, por la necesidad de responder a las prioridades de una agenda política llena de desafíos.

    This article focuses on some important challenges in the field of multilateral diplomacy that the EU has to confront after the prominent institutional innovations included in the Treaty of Lisbon, and particularly, the creation of the EEAS. More specifically, ten main challenges arte briefly outlined and critically examined. Moreover, the article focuses deliberately on the instrumental dimensions of the EEAS and multilateral institutions, respectively. This implies that the (unique) legal-institutional features will be downplayed in exchange of a strong focus on the political tasks that will keep the EEAS busy for the foreseeable future.
