Abstract

The themes of this workshop on EU civilian and military power mirror nicely the three aspects of normative power Europe that I set out to interrogate over five years ago (see a first consideration in Manners 2000a). As the above abstract from my JCMS article makes clear, I argued that previous theoretical accounts of the EU had underplayed the ontological conceptualisation of the EU as a changer of norms in the international system. I further argued that empirical investigations of the EU had also largely overlooked the positivist study of actions that the EU takes to change norms in the international system. Finally, I argued that examinations of the normative dilemmas of the EU’s relations with the rest of the world had not explicitly considered the normative imperatives for arguing
that the EU should act to extend norms in the international system.
