礼仪的规范权力欧洲（NPE）的概念所捕获的概念的影响似乎是最明显的和潜在的最重要的地区主义领域。然而，关于这一主题的实证研究一直受到阻碍的重点是欧盟的行动者和方法上的困难。借鉴扩散理论，本文发展的概念，理论和方法论的基础，构思NPE概念扩散。它认为，欧洲的观念对地区主义的影响，可以卓有成效地理解为欧盟的经验旅行到其他地区通过社会化和模仿在很大程度上是间接的过程。然而，由于各地区的结构条件各不相同，欧盟概念的扩散很少导致类似甚至可比较的制度实践和结果。一个面向选择的方法，提出了经验，它侧重于具体说明潜在的反事实：在区域主义的政治决策会有所不同，在没有欧盟的情况下，检查这些索赔。文章最后概述了分析和规范的承诺，提出重铸的方式的原始概念。
The ideational impact captured by Manners’s notion of normative power Europe (NPE) appears most distinct and potentially most consequential in the realm of regionalism. However, empirical research on the topic has been hampered by the focus on EU actorness and methodological difficulties. Drawing on diffusion theory, this article develops conceptual, theoretical and methodological foundations for conceiving NPE as ideational diffusion. It argues that Europe’s ideational influence on regionalism can be fruitfully understood as the largely indirect process by which the EU experience travels to other regions through socialization and emulation. Yet, as structural conditions vary across regions, EU ideational diffusion rarely leads to similar or even comparable institutional practices and outcomes. A choice-orientated approach is proposed for examining these claims empirically, which focuses on specifying the underlying counterfactual: political decisions in regionalism would have been different in the absence of the EU. The article concludes by outlining the analytical and normative promise of the proposed recasting of Manners’s original concept.
