Environmental Policy as a tool of European Union soft power
鏌ュ皵鏂烽噷鏂�/SPAN> 鏁欐巿
The notion of 鈥榮oft power鈥�was used in 1990 by Joseph Nye to describe the ability to attract and co-opt rather than coerce, use force or give money as a means of persuasion. Over the last century we have seen many instances of soft power, including soft power used by the United States during the cold war, by China in Africa, and - less successfully - by Russia after 1990. The European Union (EU) has long been considered to be a paradigmatic user of soft power, to the extent that its own Executive Secretary General of the External Action Service advocates its use and states that 鈥榳e are as active as possible, at least in our neighborhood鈥� This presentation examines the use of Environmental policy as an instrument of EU soft power, especially amongst the EU鈥檚 immediate neighbors in South East Europe. Drawing upon evidence and arguments put forward in his recent book The European Union and South East Europe: The Dynamics of Europeanization and Multi-level Governance, Lees argues that the technical demands of EU Environmental Law, and the modes of governance that are required to transpose and implement these laws, constitute a potent and transformative tool of soft power to shape and discipline modes of governance in member- and non-member states.

Bio-chem, Arms Control and
The Frontiers of Science and Technology

Science and technology initiatives within the broader biochemical weapons regime have tended to focus on monitoring as well as controlling the practice and products of innovation. Some initiatives have also sought to utilise new and emerging science in pursuit of improved biochemical security. Such initiatives are subject to complex and dynamic political environments at national, regional and international level. This includes, but is not restricted to, tensions between norms and practices within scientific and security communities at national level. It also includes contested and dynamic security priorities within the international community- which may also come into conflict with other priorities, especially within the developing world. Academically we seek to examine this political milieu, and its impact on the effective control of potential threats to national and international security.
David J Galbreath, PhD, is Professor of International Security and editor-in-chief of the academic journal, European Security. He has two concurrent research areas focusing on arms control and military affairs. In the first instance, Prof Galbreath directs a project on changing models of governance for advances in science and technology around bio-chemistry. In the second instance, he directs the war, society and technology research group at the University of Bath, with a current project on how technology shapes military affairs. In the Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies, Prof Galbreath is Director of Research.
