This book focuses on how discourse and various narratives
contribute to the construction of the European Union as a political
actor, thus seeking to challenge the more established approaches to
the study of the Union. It sheds light on the way discourses about
the European Union are created, perpetuated and then translated
into policy outcomes. Most of the contributions attempt to account
for the differences that usually arise between discourse and policy
practices. The methods employed range from more traditional
variants of discourse analysis to other more radical versions that
emphasize power, or to critical or differential reading of policy
narratives and ethnography. Policy areas such as trade,
enlargement, foreign policy and the European Neighbourhood Policy
(ENP) are discussed, while a particular interest is awarded to the
European Parliament and the Commission. In doing so, the
contributions shed light on the role discourse plays in relation to
policies, institutional practices, and value representations at the
European level. Moreover, the authors analyse the different actors
and structures that create and perpetuate discourses within the EU,
highlighting new insights that a focus on discourse can bring to
the field of European Union studies. This book was published as a
special issue of Perspectives on European Politics and Society.
