Non‐learning Within a Constellation of Communities of Practice
This article addresses the puzzle of why the European Union (EU) struggles to learn from ineffective attempts to support democratization in the Arab world but instead continuously (re‐)produces democracy support malpractices. To better understand this phenomenon, we draw from practice theory and conceptualize EU democracy support as practices performed by a community of insiders who act within a complex constellation of communities of practice. D…
The Construction of EU Normative Power and the Middle East ‘Conflict’ … 16 Years on
In this article, I revisit my 2007 piece on The Construction of EU Normative Power (NP) and the Middle East ‘conflict’ and bring in Manners' Arrival of NP in Planetary Politics' (NPA) frame to shed light on how the EU's southern neighbourhood and its social and political fragility becomes amplified by the ‘force multiplier’ of climate mitigation. For example, in 2018, Gaza sewage led to the closure of Israeli beaches and the shutdown of the desal…
Teaching Languages for Specific Purposes
Language skills are becoming increasingly important in organisations and businesses who want to be competitive on an international level. Mastery in foreign languages is considered not just an excellent tool to bridge gaps between people coming from different countries and to create strong sentimental and professional relationships, but above all an instrument that enables workers to considerably improve their career prospects. Knowing how to use…
Imperial Pasts in the EU’s Approach to the Mediterranean
Colonialism is silently inscribed in the genes of the European integration project since its origins. This is demonstrated by the incorporation of Algeria – as part of France – in the European Community and even more by its subsequent disappearance, leaving virtually no traces, following Algeria's independence in 1962. Despite the centrality of the Mediterranean to this foundational symptom, the literature on the role of memory in European integr…
Studying Emotions in Security and Diplomacy
The core objective of this special issue has been to shed light on emotions as (1) frames that shape interpersonal diplomatic relations, (2) as key tools that are used as part of the statecraft's toolbox, and (3) as formative/productive dynamics with real effects on human beings—that, in turn, often construct and maintain conflicts. It is therefore pertinent that we interrogate the political psychology of individual, collective, mass, and communa…
The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank
The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank explores the manner in which the Palestinian Authority's performative acts affect and shape the lives and subjective identities of those in its vicinity in the occupied West Bank. The nature of Palestinians' statelessness has to contend with the rituals of statecraft that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its Palestinian functionaries engage in. These rituals are also economically maintained by an inter…
Norway’s ambiguous approach towards Israel and Palestine
Norway’s ambiguous approach towards Israel and Palestine can be traced back to the 1940s when it was the most pro-Israeli of the three Nordic countries. Since then, there has been a change in perceptions of Israel amongst the Norwegian public and at the official government level. The article follows this change through four crucial phases: the first focuses on the period 1978 up until 1993; the second highlights the Oslo Accords period; the third…
Political Legitimacy and Celebrity Politicians
After Tony Blair resigned as the United Kingdom’s prime minster in June 2007, he was appointed as the official envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East. His appointment was marred with controversy not the least with regard to his suitability for the role and his performance as peace envoy, with many observers questioning his ethical credentials. The EU along with the US, Russia and the UN make up the Quartet and funded Blair’s office until 2012. W…
Overcoming Bordering Practices Through the Arts
During 2014, Denmark received nearly 15,000 asylum seekers, almost twice the number from the previous year as more people fleeing Syria’s war fled to Europe. By 2016, Denmark succeeded in making the country highly unattractive as a destination for refugees fleeing war torn countries. The country introduced a controversial ‘jewellery bill’, placed adverts in a newspaper in Lebanon dissuading refugees from contemplating a trip to Denmark, and cut a…

Trauma, Emotions, and Memory in World Politics
This article focuses on the impact of emotions on the European Union (EU)’s international identity and agency in the context of memory of trauma. Emotions are understood as performances through which an actor expresses itself to others while constructing its identity, creating its agency, and potentially affecting the social order. It is argued that the memory of trauma is translated into EU foreign policy practice through emotional performances …
The EU and its trickster practices
If one looks at the European Union (EU)’s southern neighbourhood and considers its response to the Israeli Palestinian conflict, one can only wonder how the EU can have any apologists left at all. While the tortured history of the conflict dates back more than a century, its roots lie in decades of clashes over religion, borders, and territory. The dispute between Israelis and Palestinians has engulfed politicians, diplomats, academics, NGO offic…

The EU's Interpretation of the ‘Arab Uprisings
This article focuses on how theEUhas interpreted the Arab uprisings as they unfolded in the MiddleEast andNorthAfrica (MENA) sinceDecember 2010.EUactors have long acknowledged limits in theEU's strategy towards its southern neighbourhood, which largely bypasses the demands of local populations. The article analyzes theEU's efforts at recreating an ‘enhanced’ framework of support for political reforms in the south. It concludes that theEUand local…
An Arab ‘Spring’ of a Different Kind? Resilience and Freedom in the Case of an Occupied Nation
Inspired by the on-going uprisings and revolutions across the Arab world, Palestinians used social media to call for mass protests throughout the Occupied Territory and their ‘host’ countries in the Arab world on 15 May 2011. Their underlying frustrations, however, have been of a different nature to those of their Arab brethren. The literature on the persistence of authoritarianism in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and the debates on tra…
The Arab Uprisings in Theoretical Perspective – An Introduction
The so-called 'Arab Awakening' is a momentous event that surprised both scholars and policy makers. For over a decade the paradigm of authoritarian resilience had dominated studies of the Arab world, almost entirely replacing the democratization paradigm that had been prominent throughout the 1980s and 1990s. This inter-paradigm debate on how best to explain and interpret the politics of the Arab world now calls for a review, in light of the Arab…
Consociation in a Constant State of Contingency? The case of the Palestinian Territory
It has become common to regard consociational democracy as a method of managing conflict in ethnically divided societies but little attention has been paid to its applicability to societies where the primary political cleavage is between secular and religious forces. This article seeks to redress this imbalance by examining the applicability of consociationalism to the case of the Palestinian Territory. We argue that, while Palestinian society is…
Liberal or social democracy? Aspect dawning in the EU's democracy promotion agenda in the Middle East
This article questions how liberal democracy has come to symbolise an ideal, or a universal set of values ready to be exported elsewhere in the world.1 A version of this article was published as ‘Liberal or Social Democracy?

Paradoxes and contradictions in EU democracy promotion in the Mediterranean
Disciplinary debates about the challenge of liberal democracy in the Mediterranean suggest that the underlying constraints in the region, such as the nature of authoritarian regimes, economic underdevelopment, and the nature of rentier states, pose severe tests for external actors like the European Union (EU) seeking to encourage political reform. These debates have, however, failed to address the question of how and why liberal democracy per se …
The EU's democratization agenda in the Mediterranean
Democracy promotion in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) remains a central pillar of the foreign policy of both the European Union (EU) and the United States (US), despite the failure of ‘democracy by imposition ’ in Iraq. A recent relative military success in fighting insurgents still leaves a problematic political reality where war

Icp–ms Analysis of Glass Fragments of Parthian and Sasanian Epoch From Seleucia and Veh Ardaš?r (Central Iraq)
Forty‐one glass fragments were analysed by inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry, determining 40 major, minor and trace elements, including rare earth elements. The fragments came from excavations carried out at the archaeological sites of Seleucia and Veh Ardaš?r in modern Iraq, and were dated to the Parthian and Sasanian epochs. Analytical data indicate that all the samples are silica–soda–lime glasses. Magnesium and potassium oxide co…
The Technology of Production of Sasanian Glazed Pottery From Veh Ardaš?r (Central Iraq)
Scanning electron microscopy coupled with an energy dispersive X‐ray detector (SEM‐EDS) has been used to study samples of Sasanian glazed pottery. Analysis of ceramic bodies revealed a general homogeneity in composition among the studied samples and the use of calcareous clay for their manufacture. Glazes are typically alkaline in composition, with sodium and potassium oxide contents between 8 and 13%, and between 3 and 5%, respectively; calcium …

The Construction of EU Normative Power
This article focuses on the constructed nature of the EU's so‐called ‘normative power’ (NPEU). It proposes that, while a successful construction of NPEU would secure a role for the EU globally, challenges to NPEU constructions would disempower any EU attempts at its global reach based on such projections. The Middle East conflict is taken as a case in point

Norm shifting from EMP to ENP
This article focuses on the normative dimensions of European Union (EU) policy on the Mediterranean which, it is argued, give rise to a number of dilemmas and challenges.

Second, since it purportedly supplements the EMP, the article examines the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and its associated normative …

Imagining Co-presence in Euro-Mediterranean Relations
This article attempts to draw upon the work of a key thinker on dialogue, Mikhail Bakhtin, to shed light on dialogue in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. It also draws upon the work of Bruce Tuckman's 1965 forming, storming, norming and performing group development model. By applying these theoretical frameworks to the specific case of Euro-Mediterranean relations, the article aims to uncover the challenges facing EU-Mediterranean partners in d…
The Provenance of Red Figure Vases From Locri Epizephiri (Southern Italy)
Thirty‐nine samples of red figure pottery found at Locri Epizephiri were analysed for 18 chemical elements by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. The finds, dated from the end of the sixth to the fourth century bc , were assigned to Attic, Sicilian and Locrian workshops due to their style of execution. Prior to facing the archaeological questions, possible biases on sample classification due to variable firing conditions, or to alte…

Culture and community in the Euro-Mediterranean partnership
Almost eight years into the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP), social and cultural co-operation between the European Union (EU) and the 12 partner countries in the southern Mediterranean is still in its infancy. Although the third basket was originally considered as one of the main innovations within Euro-Mediterranean relations, its pitfalls prevail – a fact that is reflected in the lack of a common shared discourse within academic as well as…

Pieces on Our Craft
In recent years, there has been growing recognition within international studies that big (normally synonymous with “power”) is not always best. In contrast to the traditional IR focus on great powers, a number of authors have highlighted the need to “take small states seriously” in international studies and challenged Kenneth Waltz’s claim that the “story of international relations is written in terms of the great powers.” In part, this shift in…
