Abstract

This panel opens a conversation among papers looking at describing the image of the European Union in the Western Hemisphere and explaining the consequences for EU public diplomacy. Through case studies of EU public diplomacy in Canada, Brazil and the United States, the papers in this panel seek to understand how different segments of societies in those countries perceive the EU and its practices, particularly in the context of recent trade negotiations between the EU and United States or EU and Mercosur as well as in light of the approval process of the concluded agreement between the EU and Canada. The papers delve on extensive literature on evaluation of EU images in the world, identity discourse and third countries’ perceptions of the EU as an external actor; they also inquire the relevance of material and normative factors in shaping the context in which the Canadian, US and Brazilian actors form and consolidate their views.
