Ian Manners, 'European Union, Normative Power, and Planetary Politics', Region Europe, 10/11/2020.

The lecture reflects on the past and future of the EU and it’s normative power in planetary politics, where ‘planetary politics’ are characterised by truly planetary relations of causality that can only be understood and addressed holistically. The three decades of European union, 1990-2020 have seen the increasing interdependence of planetary economy, society, ecology, conflict, and politics leading to the realisation of the growing symbiotic relationships between humans and the rest of the planet. Within this context, it is argued that normative power, as empowering actions in concert for the planetary good, provides a means of thinking about a future that addresses the planetary organic crisis rather than simply reacts to growing international competition.
