摘要：What is the role of the European Union (EU) in the Arctic region? On what basis
does it claim influence and/or authority (if any) over part of this vast area of the world?
What can we learn about EU Arctic policy, tools and instruments adopted so far? Is the EU
a normative foreign policy actor as described by Tocci´s theory? What factors do influence
the adoption and validity of EU policies in this region? This study tries to reply to all these
questions casting a light over an area of great geostrategic importance and at the
crossroads of historic developments. In a first part we study the current EU Arctic policy
and assess its strength and weaknesses according to literature. In a second part we
summarize Tocci´s theory on kinds of normative policy actors and examine what kind of
power is the EU exercising in the region.
