Normative Power and the European Union

Abstract

The four papers of this panel each deal explicitly with Normative Power and the European Union. Questions asked in this panel are, what are the challenges EU is currently facing in the Mediterranean in the aftermath of Arab uprisings? Another is whehther the EU is losing the normative power game against China in Asia, specifically in Greater China including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, East Asia including Japan and South Korea and South East Asia including ten ASEAN countries. A third looks at the unfolding events surrounding the publication of the EU Guidelines prohibiting the allocation of funds to Israeli entities in the Occupied Territories in order to offer three observations about the impact of ʻthe local’ on ʻNormative Power Europe’. Finally the fourth studies the normative nature of the EU as an ideational power, in particular to deal with the gap in the literature on how third parties use European influences; that is to focus on receptiveness by others (non-European countries).
