It features scientific and scholarlystudies whichexamine thewaynormsarecreatedandre-createdthrough interactions between actors at the international level, taking into account the reflexive nature of governance relationships and their impact on state behaviour through the re-constitution of norms. Norms in international relations are defined as ideas of varying degrees of abstractionandspecificationthatconcernfundamentalvalues,organisingprinciples or standardised procedures. They resonate across states and global actors in the formofofficialpolicies,laws,treatiesandagreements,whiletheirmeaningmaybe stable or contested. Norm Research in International Relations (NRIR) welcomes proposals for research monographs, edited volumes and handbooks from a variety of disciplines that seek to advance theories and applied research in international relations and to arrive at a better understanding of the role and impact of norms. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, issues of international justice, research on contestation, human rights, international treaties in areas such as energy, environment or security, and constructivist norm research in international relations theory, recognition theory and international law.

This book falls within the EU-NormCon national grant research project (Normative contestation in Europe: Implications for the EU in a changing global order) funded by the National R+D Plan of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (CSO2016-79205-P). Our aim was to write this book, not just for scholars and practitioners, but also for graduate students and advanced undergraduates interested in EU’s foreign policy and in norm research. Our intention is that the template we offer for eval- uatingandexplainingtheeffectsofcontestingtheEuropeanUnion’sforeignpolicy norms and fundamental values can serve as a basis for others to conduct further in-depth case studies. The more we learn about the EU’s role in the changing international order, the more we develop a concrete basis for understanding what the EU is as an international actor and where its foreign policy is heading in the next coming decade. Excerpts of the book have been presented in different workshops and confer- ences.AfirstdraftofthebookwaspresentedinaworkshopontheEuropeanUnion contested hosted by the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) on May 2019. We sincerely thank Pol Morillas, Patrick Müller, and Madeleine Hosli for their insightful comments and feedback. Versions of various chapters were also presented during the International Studies Association Annual Convention in Toronto on March 2019, during the 2nd NORTIA Network Conference in Poznan on June 2019, and on a panel on the EU foreign policy at the 26th International Conference of Europeanists in Madrid on June 2019.
