EU Foreign Policy through the Lens of Discourse Analysis Summary

EU Foreign Policy through the Lens of Discourse Analysis: Making Sense of Diversity by Caterina Carta (London School of Economics, UK)

Leading scholars in discourse analysis and European foreign policy join forces in this book, marking a real breakthrough in the literature. Not only do they offer original perspectives on European foreign policy, but they bring together various theories on foreign policy discourses that remain too often isolated from each other.

This theoretical diversity is clearly reflected in the book's four-pronged structure: Part I - Post-structuralist Approaches (with contributions from Thomas Diez, Henrik Larsen and Beste Isleyen); Part II - Constructivist Approaches (with contributions from Knud Erik Jorgensen, Jan Orbie, Ferdi de Ville, Esther Barbe, Anna Herranz-Surralles and Michal Natorski); Part III - Critical Discourse Analytical Approaches (with contributions from Senem Aydin-Duzgit, Amelie Kutter, Ruth Wodak, Salomi Boukala and Caterina Carta); Part IV - Discursive Institutionalist Approaches (with contributions from Ben Rosamond, Antoine Rayroux and Vivien A. Schmidt). The volume is the first full-length study on how to apply different discourse analytical approaches and methodologies to European foreign policy. The paperback edition makes for a unique selling point as a course text.

EU Foreign Policy through the Lens of Discourse Analysis Reviews

'Honouring both the plurality and fecundity that characterises discursive approaches, this book demonstrates the pertinence of focussing on discourses, in their many different hues, for understanding one of the most salient developments of the contemporary international system: the production, reproduction and transformation of Europe. It will be of great interest all at once to students and scholars interested in the role of language in international politics, the workings of international governance, or indeed in the great European project.' Charlotte Epstein, University of Sydney, Australia 'With its unique collection of essays, this book celebrates two kinds of diversity: the highly diverse discursive environment that constitutes the EU's multifaceted identities, and the many academic approaches to analysing these multiple intersecting narratives. A fascinating read celebrating what we need to accept as the EU's irredeemable polyphony.' Kalypso NicolaA-dis, University of Oxford, UK 'This book represents an excellent contribution to the literature. First, it unpacks discourse analysis and demonstrates the diversity of the various discursive approaches. Second, it uses these discourse analytical lenses to shed new light on EU foreign policy. Essential reading for anybody interested in the application of discourse analysis to real world issues!' Thomas Risse, Freie UniversitAt Berlin, Germany 'EU Foreign Policy through the Lens of Discourse Analysis is the most comprehensive collection to date covering the broad array of discourse analytic approaches to the study of international relations and foreign policy. The chapters make clear that discourse, as a concept, an object of analysis, and a method crosses ontological and epistemological stances and is significant for a diversity of researchers.' Roxanne Lynn Doty, Arizona State University, USA '... to those who are looking for innovative and creative theoretical contributions or new insigh
