Abstract
In this discussion of security and democracy in the European Union two interrelated arguments are put forward about the use of normative power to address the security challenge. The article starts by discussing the European (security) Union within the context of over 15 years of European human security debates, and then reflects on the current conduct of the total war on terror as led by the USA. The author argues for the need to be normative in the EU's security policies and concludes by considering the normative security dilemmas that the EU and its member states face over security and democracy, war and peace. He reiterates the argument that the EU should and must apply its own normative principles to the security challenge if we are ever to move beyond total war and towards sustainable peace.
