The European Union (EU) is often associated with being a normative power which predisposes it to act normatively on the world stage. The EU has also constructed itself as a normative power which pursues to export and sustain the values and norms which the EU regards as universal. In relation to the European Neighbourhood Policy, which embraces normativity, the EU tends to foremost secure its own interests by formulating policies from a Eurocentric perspective and apply it to non-member states. Therefore, this research seeks to identify and understand, through a critical discourse analysis, how the supranational institutions of the EU have used normative discourses to justify and legitimatize policy initiatives in the Mediterranean space, which in reality satisfies their own collective interests in relation to the social and historical context in which the policies are formulated. Furthermore, this thesis will explore how these supranational institutions of the Union have constructed its own identity relative to the identity of the Mediterranean space and how this reflects a power relation between the two regions. This thesis argues that the Eurocentric perception and the European Ideology plays a significant role in constructing a narrative which includes normative notions which justifies policy initiatives and the active engagement of the Union in the Mediterranean space. Furthermore, the Eurocentric perception and European Ideology also constructs a distinction between the EU and the Mediterranean space which constructs and reproduce the Union as a superordinate entity relative to the subordinate Mediterranean space.
