  • AB Uzun Bir Süredir Fortress Europe Olmayı Bıraktı
    EUROPEAN UNION: A CIVILIAN OR A POLITICAL POWER IN THE EURO-MEDITERRANEAN PARTNERSHIP? ARMAGAN EMRE ÇAKIR This article claims that within the framework of the Euro- Mediterranean Partnership, the Union mainly assumes the role of civilian power. Sometimes it also has to assume the political power role and becomes influential by using the attraction of full- membership. However, in cases like the conflict in the Middle East, where the Union still wants to be influential but the ‘membership’ instrument cannot work, the Union displays a poor record. In such situations, institutionalisation of the security dimension of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership may help. Introduction Among the foreign policy choices before any international actor is that of determining its position on the isolationism-internationalism continuum. The ends of this range are marked by minimal (that is the isolationism end) and maximal (that is the internationalism end) participation in the international system. In the case of the European Union (EU), if taken as a unified entity acting as an international actor, it is difficult to pinpoint a precise value on this continuum as this value has changed considerably over time in terms of intensity, nature as well as according to the region of the world in question. In basic terms, it would not be wrong to claim that the EU has displayed a shift towards the internationalist end progressively. Until the beginning of the 1990s, the Union was more concerned with completing its political and economic integration process, and this process was indeed almost completed with some positive results like the Single Market and a single currency as scheduled.
