초록
This study examines the ways in which the normative power Europe concept is actually translated into foreign policy action. With the end of the Cold War, the lively debates about whether the EU should be repositioned as a novel kind of actor has come forward as one of the important topics. As much the enthusiasm, there are also sceptical views: whether the EU can truly be viewed as an “actor” that has a decisive impact. To test the contested views, the paper examines EU-China relations, focusing on how the EU’s normative stance can be undermined when the material interests of the member states are prioritized, while enforcing the arms embargo aiming to deal compulsory with the human rights issue in China. In examining the evolutionary trajectory of the bilateral relationship, the paper argues that the existing studies tend to overlook the importance of internal dynamics of EU polity, as well as its interrelated implications for the EU’s external relations, although they not only give insights into how the diverse interests of the member states are converged or compromised by the process of a so-called Europeanziation, but also help to elucidate the ways in which the external relationship that the EU has developed over time has also been dependent on how this internal political dynamism is discursively represented. Only incorporating these dynamics of EU policy can we have a more refined understanding of the ways in which, and the extent to which, the EU’s normative power venture can be palpable.
Abstract
This study examines the ways in which the normative power Europe concept is actually translated into foreign policy action. With the end of the Cold War, the lively debates about whether the EU should be repositioned as a novel kind of actor has come forward as one of the important topics. As much the enthusiasm, there are also sceptical views: whether the EU can truly be viewed as an “actor” that has a decisive impact. To test the contested views, the paper examines EU-China relations, focusing on how the EU’s normative stance can be undermined when the material interests of the member states are prioritized, while enforcing the arms embargo aiming to deal compulsory with the human rights issue in China. In examining the evolutionary trajectory of the bilateral relationship, the paper argues that the existing studies tend to overlook the importance of internal dynamics of EU polity, as well as its interrelated implications for the EU’s external relations, although they not only give insights into how the diverse interests of the member states are converged or compromised by the process of a so-called Europeanziation, but also help to elucidate the ways in which the external relationship that the EU has developed over time has also been dependent on how this internal political dynamism is discursively represented. Only incorporating these dynamics of EU policy can we have a more refined understanding of the ways in which, and the extent to which, the EU’s normative power venture can be palpable.
