Abstract
This chapter lays down the conceptual and analytical foundation of this study. First, it develops a definition of internal EU coordination. Research on the role of the EU in international institutions regularly deals, implicitly or explicitly, with coordination. Yet, remarkably, a comprehensive conceptualization of EU coordination in the context of international organizations is still lacking. Consequently, a multidisci-plinary approach is used to define and conceptualize EU coordination in this study. Then, based on our definition of coordination, a scale with four levels of coordination is constructed to measure EU coordination for the G7, G8, and G20.
