The European Union Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Israel-Palestine Conflict: Impossible Mission of Peace Building

  • Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate the European Union peace-building mission towards the Israel-Palestine conflict. It follows Manners (2002) conceptualisation of the Union as a normative power and its ability to shape international standards, diffuse universal norms and values, change other’s behaviour patterns and attitude. As a counterbalance, the paper shall make use of the structural realist critique to the concept of normative power Europe. The paper analyses the EU’s involvement and instrument deployment in the conflict using Tocci’s (2008) three-dimensional framework of normative foreign actor in order to determine the normative aspects of the EU foreign and security policy in respect to the conflict. The results of this research show that the Union is inconsistent in pursuing its normative goals in the conflict. Furthermore, despite the Union’s normative basis and norms promotion, it it can hardly be considered as a normative foreign actor.
