Introduction to the twentieth anniversary special issue on normative power in the planetary organic crisis

Summary, in English

This twentieth anniversary special issue broadens the horizons beyond the 2013 Cooperation and Conflict special issue to develop the normative power approach through a prospective on the use of normative power in addressing the planetary organic crisis. This introduction to the special issue first sets out the contribution of the normative power approach then, second, reflects on the past three decades of the development of the normative power approach before, third, providing an overview of the six contributing articles and how they weave together the normative power approach to the planetary organic crisis. The special issue argues that 21st century planetary politics, characterised by truly planetary relations of causality, can be understood and addressed holistically by using normative power in the planetary organic crisis. The planetary organic crisis is the accelerating and symbiotic crisis of economy, society, ecology, conflict, and polity that has become increasingly self-evident since the 1970s.
