关于地中海自由民主挑战的纪律辩论表明，该地区的根本制约因素，如威权政权的性质、经济欠发达和食利国的性质，对寻求鼓励政治改革的欧盟(EU)等外部行为者构成了严峻考验。然而，这些辩论未能解决自由民主本身如何以及为什么获得规范性地位的问题。本文试图通过审查欧盟在地中海地区促进民主的努力的实质来推进这一辩论。它首先解释了欧盟对地中海“状况”的诊断，这突出了欧盟提出民主化处方背后的逻辑，特别是在中东和北非(MENA)地区。第二，这揭示了欧盟在中东和北非推动民主的内在矛盾和矛盾。文章最后认为，由于欧盟政策缺乏连贯性，欧盟的行动限制了在中东和北非地区产生规范性影响的任何潜力。
Disciplinary debates about the challenge of liberal democracy in the Mediterranean suggest that the underlying constraints in the region, such as the nature of authoritarian regimes, economic underdevelopment, and the nature of rentier states, pose severe tests for external actors like the European Union (EU) seeking to encourage political reform. These debates have, however, failed to address the question of how and why liberal democracy per se achieved normative status. This article seeks to take this debate forward by examining the substance of the EU's efforts at democracy promotion in the Mediterranean. It does this first by explaining the EU's diagnosis of the Mediterranean ‘condition’, which highlights the logic behind the EU's prescription for democratization specifically in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This sheds light, second, on the inherent paradoxes and contradictions in the EU's push for democracy in the MENA. The article concludes by arguing that EU actions limit any potential for normative impact in the MENA because of the lack of coherence in EU policy.
