Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss (1962) is a Belgian political scientist, a Jean Monnet Professor of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) at Maastricht University, and a senior member of the Netherlands Institute of Government. She has taught as a visiting professor at the College of Europe and has a chair in Administrative Governance at the Faculty of the Arts and Social Sciences at Maastricht University.

Biography
In her research, Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss examines the role and influence of bureaucratic actors in multi-layered, polycentric systems of decision-making with a special focus on European foreign policy. She is especially interested in the processes of 'Brusselisation' or 'the steady enhancement of the Brussels-based decision-making bodies' in the area of Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Recent publications have dealt with the emerging EU diplomatic system and the development of the European External Action Service (EEAS); the impact of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) on national administrations and Brussels-based bureaucracies in the field of security and defence.

Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss is one of the editors of the 'New European Union Series' of Oxford University Press (together with Dermot Hodson) and the European Administrative Governance series at Palgrave Macmillan (together with Thomas Christiansen). She primarily teaches courses on EU foreign policy and external relations in both Bachelor and Master programmes of European Studies at Maastricht University.

Education
During high school, Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss nurtured a deep interest in history and contemporary international politics. She first thought about studying political science, but it did not have a good reputation at the time. Therefore, she chose a BA in Contemporary History at the Catholic University of Leuven (1984) and then a master’s degree in European Studies at the College of Europe, Bruges (1985). Since the beginning, she has supported cross-border cooperation. She completed another MA in International Relations at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in 1989. She obtained her Ph.D. in International Relations from Leiden University. In her P.hD. study, she examined the Bush administration (1989-1993) and the Development of a European Security Identity.

Academic Career
After receiving a recommendation, she ended up assisting the Greek academic Panos Tsakaloyannis at the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) in Maastricht, focusing on European Foreign and Security Policy. From 1987 to 2001, she had the opportunity to help prepare EU Member States for the Presidency of the Council of the EU, organize conferences, and do research which she enjoyed a lot. Therefore, she prepared her possible next step to pursue a career in academia as an external Ph.D. candidate at Leiden University, in addition to her work at EIPA.

In 2001, the next opportunity came up when she joined Maastricht University and had an active role in creating the Bachelor and the Research Master European Studies at FASoS. At first, she didn't notice that there were no female professors in the faculty; what made her reflect on her days as a student, she realized that she never had a female lecturer either. At that time, the dean opened space for talented women to be a chair at the faculty, and Vanhoonacker-Kormoss was one of them. In five years she had to prove herself and fulfill a number of criteria.

During the next few years, she became head of the Political Science department. This position made her recognize the importance of human resources, which she believes can either make or break a department. In 2016, she accepted the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences position, though not without hesitation since she was afraid to miss her research. Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss held the position during the following four years, until 2020.

Personal Life
Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss was born and raised in Bruges, Belgium. She is the eldest child in her family and has two siblings. Her sister is a manager at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels, and her brother is head of the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain.

Her time at a girl’s school and her parents contributed to her future work ethic. Her mother was a museum tour guide, and her father worked as a dentist, but in his free time, he visited archives to write articles on the history of Bruges. Therefore, since her early years, she has been connected to the study of art and history.

She is married to an architecture professor at the University of Liège and has a son.

Academic Contribution
Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss is mainly using a “sociological institutionalism” perspective in her research. For instance, she mobilizes an historical institutionalism perspective in order to study the evolution of the General Secretariat of the Council of the Ministers. This approach aims at explaining why some institutional choices were made according to the development of this institution, one of the key concepts being the one of path dependency. Through this study, she explains that path dependency only occurs when there is no formal change but that the institution will adapt to a changing environment in an informal and gradual manner, underlining the continuity of practices. However, a major official change would lead to a new set of values and norms, an example of the creation of a new path.

As a topic she mostly works on the construction of a common European foreign policy. She is especially interested in the process of “Brusselisation” of the CFSP, which was until the Treaty of Lisbon decided by national capitals. She looks at both periods prior to the creation of official European bodies such as the High Representative and the European External Action Service and after.

Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss focuses on the administrative level of policy implementation. Following Weber, she believes that the administrative level is different from the political one. The latter is composed of elected people that delegate different tasks to the former, composed of professionals occupying long-term positions. Within this framework, she is specifically interested in studying the administrative practices of the bodies in Brussels and their impact on the definition of the CFSP, or “administrative governance” in three phases: agenda-shaping, decision-shaping,e and implementation of the policy. This approach allowed her to show that the Europeanisation of the foreign policy had started prior to the Treaty of Lisbon, most notably because the European administrative level played an increasing role in the implementation of the CFSP, coordinating different national interests, nuancing ideas that national and communitarian interests were in opposition. Administrative practices and behaviors are highly institutionalized, which can explain how this level managed to europeanize the CFSP. She also underlines that their degree of flexibility strengthened their capacity to adapt to new international environments.

Following the Lisbon Treaty, Sophie Vanhoonacker-Kormoss focused on the new practices in terms of foreign policy induced by the establishment of the High Representative and the European External Action Service. Using agenda-setting theories, she showed how these new “foreign policy entrepreneurs” managed to use different strategies in order to become influential actors. She found that the High Representative and the EEAS’ most successful strategy in order to gain credibility and attention was to focus on capacity-building. However, she also demonstrated that these actors were still lacking authority towards Member states to really frame European foreign policy the way they wanted to.

She is also known for having developed a theoretical framework allowing to evaluate one Member state’s performance during its rotating Presidency of the Council. She identifies four roles that the Presidency can play: “organizer, broker, political leader and national representative” and claims that the use of one specific role is linked to both internal and external environmental conditions. External environmental situations lead to specific role demands and internal environmental conditions provide specific resources defining the capacity to play a given role. A successful presidency is one that manages to answer the demands with the appropriate resources. This model allows for a more nuanced understanding and evaluation of a Member state’s Presidency, as its performance can vary between domains if the demands are different.
