| Title | The EU's Normative Power Dimension in Light of the EUJUST Themis Mission to Georgia |
| Summary | On 16 July 2004 the EU launched EUJUST Themis, a rule of law mission to Georgia, mandated to assist the Georgian authorities in drafting a reform agenda on the criminal justice system. This paper examines the motivational background on why the EU decided to launch EUJUST Themis. Apart from the security aspect, explained by the rationalist logic; the EU’s dictum of value promotion, based on the constructivist perspective account for the Council’s decision for a rule of law mission to Georgia. In discussing the EU’s foreign policy approach, the notions of normative and civilian power Europe are consulted to shed light on the nature of the EU’s foreign policy approach. In doing so, the role of values and the EU’s ideological power are emphasises as a constitutive building-blocks of her international identity. |
