EU Mediation as an Assemblage of Practices: Introducing a New Approach to the Study of EU Conflict Resolution
本文提出将欧盟调解视为实践集合体的新框架，结合拉图尔集合体思想和福柯的政治理性与技术概念，通过缅甸案例揭示调解中的矛盾与知识主张，为理解欧盟外部行动提供新视角。
Abstract This article introduces a new approach to the study of EU mediation and conflict resolution. It argues that researchers have not fully accounted for the changes underway in the Union's take on mediation. By elucidating the differences between this approach and the already existing literature on EU mediation, the article advocates a practice turn and develops a framework for studying EU mediation as an assemblage of practices. It builds on Latourian assemblage thinking and complements it with the Foucauldian notion of political rationality and techne . This approach is then explored through examining the practices of EU mediation support in Myanmar, which draws attention to the contradictions and a specific set of knowledge claims on peace and conflict, and traces dissident voices and how they inform the use of mediation instruments. In so doing, it demonstrates how a practice‐oriented approach allows us to provide new insights into EU external action.
