This book examines how the different normative foundations of
conflict resolution held by various global actors, their
understandings of justice, and the differences between types of
conflict influence the varying means by which conflicts can be
prevented, managed, and ultimately resolved. By combining insights
from political theory, conflict studies, and European Union (EU)
foreign policy studies, the book identifies the EU as the key case
of a conflict manager that is both a product and a defender of a
global liberal order. It focuses on three aspects of conflict
resolution that pose their own sets of both normative and empirical
dilemmas: resolving border disputes; strengthening the resilience
of weak or divided states and societies after regime change, and
intervention in humanitarian crises. Furthermore, it offers a
comparative analysis between a potentially distinctive European
approach and that of other global actors and reflects critically on
situations where policy practice may not always reflect a concern
for justice, asking what countervailing forces prevail and why.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students in
European and EU Studies, Area studies, Conflict Resolution, War
Studies, EU Foreign Policy Political Theory, International
relations as well as policymakers.
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.
