Governmentality and EU External Trade and Environment Policy
applies theories drawn from Foucauldian governmentality studies to
investigate the ideological and political roots of the European
Union (EU)'s external trade and environmental policy and their
effects on the transnational legal landscape. The EU's desire to
spread environmental norms abroad is viewed in the book as a
significant feature of contemporary EU trade policy. The EU's
activities in this area have not been uncontroversial for other
transnational legal actors. States, individuals, and organizations
have challenged the EU's various trade and environment policies,
arguing that they are coercive, unfair, over-reaching, or
inefficient. Meanwhile, these policies have also raised a number of
questions from the perspective of legality and political theory.
This book considers what the practice of EU external trade and
environment policy, and international resistance to it, tells us
about the way the EU perceives the role and limits of transnational
government, the means and ends of politics, and the drivers of
human and institutional behavior. Jessica Lawrence examines the
legal and political discourse of the EU and those affected by its
policies. By studying legal cases, statements by officials,
legislative texts, press releases, and other representative
documents the book identifies the rationalities, technologies, and
subjectivities that underlie contemporary EU activity in this area.
The overall effect paints a more complicated and nuanced picture of
the EU's vision of itself and its goals; one that ultimately seeks
to provide a better understanding of the functioning of power in
this area.
