Abstract
This study addresses what characterises the EU’s role as an international actor
by drawing on ‘civilian power Europe’ role concept as a fruitful point of reference.
It analyses the scope of the concept from a broad point of view including the other
characteristics of a civilian power instead of a narrow focus on the civilian versus
military debate with a special empirical reference to the EU’s trade policy as
Europe’s most long-standing and most powerful external policy realm. The study
argues that EU’s trade policy mostly reflects ‘civilian power’ character of the EU.
