It is one of the first attempts to systematically evaluate the build-up of the EU's diplomatic capacity in the post-Lisbon era and is therefore a must-read for all interested in recent changes of EU diplomatic actorness. I find the volume's ambition to link the changing diplomatic role of the EU to the changing nature of modern diplomacy especially interesting.' -Ole Elgström, Professor of Political Science, Lund University, Sweden 'As one of the most complex and constantly evolving international actors on the planet, the EU poses a major challenge for those interested in understanding its global purpose and political capabilities. Different perspectives and conceptual tools are often necessary to complete the picture, and this volume combines both in a wide-ranging treatment of how the EU behaves as a diplomatic actor. It also draws upon insights from both practitioners and scholars to explain the considerable variance across different EU foreign policy domains despite the best efforts of the EU to make itself more coherent.' -Michael E. Smith, Professor and Chair in International Relations, University of Aberdeen, Scotland 'Based on contributions by an excellent international team consisting of both senior and junior academics as well as knowledgeable practitioners, this incisive volume both fills a vacuum and provides the most up to date overview of the growing role of the EU as a diplomatic actor in the post-Lisbon era.' -Walter Carlsnaes, Senior Professor (emeritus), Department of Government, Uppsala University, Sweden 'This volume underlines that the role of the EU within the emerging multipolar and fragmented world is slowly gaining in importance after the Treaty of Lisbon (2009) -despite external obstacles as well as internal deficits of consistency and coherence. The action of the EU as an unprecedented diplomatic actor and of the EEAS are analysed in an accurate and comprehensive way in the main policy fields of trade, human rights, climate change, and finance, with special attention given to the EU's impact within multilateral organizations and regimes. This panel of contributors offers fresh analyses and contributes to enriching the literature on a crucial issue in EU studies and international relations.' Thanks to consecutive rounds of enlargement and the stepwise broadening and deepening of internal integration, the EU now undeniably plays a key role in international politics, law and economics.

“…For example, when the Dutch presidency declared that the harmonization of national reporting was one of its priorities, it tasked the Swedish International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) with compiling a report on the deficiencies of the existing reporting practices (Bauer and Bromley 2004). Finally, governments are more likely to enter into coalitions with like-minded CSOs to reinforce their position vis-à-vis other member states and to reach additional audiences, as they for example did in the campaigns against small arms exports (Anders 2003) and landmines (Long 2002). These kinds of relationships with CSOs are indicative of an, albeit still embryonic, European public space in which governments have to present and defend their security policies.…”

Civil society and the European common security and defence policy

The involvement of civil society organizations (CSOs) is widely regarded by students of the EU's domestic policy fields as enhancing transparency and accountability and, more generally, the democratic quality of political processes. This article explores the contribution of CSOs to the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy and assesses whether a democracy-enhancing effect of their involvement can also be demonstrated for this policy field. We analyse the contribution of CSOs based on two common models of democracy: the intergovernmental and the supranational model of democracy. We find that CSOs are indeed quite actively involved in the EU's security policy. With regard to their democracy-enhancing effects, however, our findings are rather mixed. While the engagement of CSOs does provide a remedy for the democratic deficits associated with intergovernmental decision-making, these organizations do not fully meet the demands posed by supranational governance.

“…In the environmental arena the USA is not unique in this respect, as Australia and Russia have not ratified the Cartagena protocol. Furthermore the cases of landmines (Dover, 2006;Flowers, 2013;Long, 2002), Responsibility to Protect/R2P (Coleman, 2013;Manners, 2006d) and the International Criminal Court (Lee, 2013;Sicurelli, 2007, 2008;Sicurelli, 2010) suggest that the construction of sovereignty acts as a strong cultural filter to norm diffusion in a globalizing, multilateralizing and multipolarizing era.…”

“…In the case of cultural diversity, the lead taken by the EU on issues of 'cultural exception' since the 1994 Marrakesh ministerial meeting found form in the 2000 Council of Europe declaration on Cultural Diversity and the unprecedented adherence of the EU to the 2005 UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions as a regional organization of economic integration (Chan-Tibergien, 2006;Ferri, 2005). The third example of contagion diffusion suggests that the role of six EU-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from 1992 onwards was crucial in encouraging Member States to commit to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and agree to the 1997 Treaty of Ottawa (Dover, 2006;Flowers, 2013;Long, 2002).…”

This concluding article assesses the past decade of international scholarship on the European Union (EU) and normative power as represented by the contributions to the special issue. It argues that the normative power approach (NPA) makes it possible to explain, understand and judge the EU in global politics by rethinking the nature of power and actorness in a globalizing, multilateralizing and multipolarizing era. To do this, the article assesses the past decade in terms of normative power engagement, internationalization and comparison. The article then argues that rethinking power and actorness involves reassessing global theory and pouvoir normatif in action. The article concludes by setting out three ways of developing the NPA in its second decade: macro-approach, meso-characterization and micro-analysis. Following the suggestion of Emanuel Adler, Barry Buzan and Tim Dunne, the article sets out how studying the normative foundations of power through the NPA combines the normative rethinking of power and actorness with the structural changes of a globalizing, multilateralizing and multipolarizing era.
