This
working document offers a conceptual framework for understanding the
processes underpinning the external dimension of EU Justice and Home
Affairs (ED-JHA). Practically, it defines how the export of JHA
principles and norms inform the geopolitical ambitions of the EU, i.e.
the use of space for political purposes, or the control and management
of people, objects and movement. The author begins by investigating how
the ENP reconfigures the ED-JHA, and then goes on to discuss various
conceptual stances on governance, specifically institutionalism,
constructivism, and policy instruments. To conclude he traces the
evolution of this external dimension, emphasising, whenever possible,
its continuities and bifurcations. Overall, the aim is to ascertain the
extent to which conceptual designs clarify or advance our knowledge of
the contents and rationales of the ED-JHA.
