The Construction of EU Normative Power

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This article focuses on the constructed nature of the EU's so-called ‘normative power’ (NPEU). It proposes that, while a successful construction of NPEU would secure a role for the EU globally, challenges to NPEU constructions would disempower any EU attempts at its global reach based on such projections. The Middle East conflict is taken as a case in point.
