当一个成员国挑战欧盟理事会协商一致决策的不成文规则时会发生什么？他们的外交官是否被边缘化，或者其他国家是否做出额外的努力试图让他们加入？在本文中，我使用英国（英国）在金融和经济领域的欧盟合作作为一个案例研究，探讨这些问题。英国政府一直不愿意签署最近的一系列欧盟危机管理措施，也不害怕使用否决权。基于对来自20个国家的33位外交官的采访，本文表明，英国外交官并没有被边缘化，但发生了变化;其他国家不再为让英国加入而付出额外的努力，他们担心如果他们与英国结盟，他们将被视为阻碍。
What happens when a Member State challenges the unwritten rule of consensual decision‐making in the Council of the EU? Are their diplomats marginalized, or do other countries make an extra effort to attempt to get them on board? In this article, I use the UK (United Kingdom) in the area of financial and economic EU co‐operation as a case study to explore these questions. The British government has been unwilling to sign up for a range of recent EU crisis‐management measures and has not been afraid of utilizing its veto. Based on 33 interviews with diplomats from 20 countries, this article demonstrates that British diplomats have not become marginalized, but changes have occurred; other countries no longer go the extra mile to get the UK on board and they are worried that they will be seen as obstructive if they align themselves with the UK.
