Norms over Force: Norms and Geopolitics [For 15 years now, Europe has been facing, as I have recalled, the realities of a multifarious world that it could not simply ignore. Its normative ambition is thus now more than ever subject to the reality principle. This is because the more norms are applied to situations remote from the context in which they were conceived, the more they run the risk of noncompliance.

Abstract

[For 15 years now, Europe has been facing, as I have recalled, the realities of a multifarious world that it could not simply ignore. Its normative ambition is thus now more than ever subject to the reality principle. This is because the more norms are applied to situations remote from the context in which they were conceived, the more they run the risk of noncompliance. Europe thus has three choices: it can either be proactively more demanding as regards respect for the norms it propagates, take liberties with the norms that it formally prescribes, or enter into a more or less muffled clash with its partners.]
