| Title | The EU's Role in the Western Balkans A Normative Approach |
| Summary | This paper analyses the role of the European Union in the Western Balkans from a normative perspective. First, it presents the concepts that have been forwarded in the academic debate as representative for the European Union’s role in its external relations, namely EU as a civilian and military power, and contrasting them with the concept of normative power. Then, it will give an overview of the historical developments of the Western Balkans since 1990s and the EU’s strategies for this region. In the third chapter, an analysis of the normative role and impact of the EU will be made, continuing with the fourth chapter with an analysis of Serbia, taken as a case study for this thesis and finally, I will conclude in this thesis that the European Union has a normative role in the Western Balkans. |
