نبذة مختصرة : The JCMS anniversary symposium marking 20 years of normative power provides a prospective intervention into thinking through the rest of the century. The symposium consists of a lead article followed by three responses to this intervention written by scholars who have thought seriously about co-joining normative and power over the past decades. In the lead article Ian Manners (2024) takes the language of Arrival, the 2016 speculative fiction film based on Ted Chiang's 1998 short ‘Story of Your Life’ and applies it to normative power by double-decolonising the anthropocentrism of capitalist culture and Eurocentrism in order to arrive at planetary politics. Secondly Kalypso Nicolaïdis (2024) starts by arguing that the advent of planetary politics changes the conditions of possibility for the kind of democratic practices that can best deliver on our planetary-human eco-system found in the third democratic transformation from European to planetary politics through the normative power approach. This is followed by Michelle Pace's (2024) study of the construction of EU normative power and the Middle East ‘conflict’ 16 years on, arguing that Israel and Palestine are ‘co-dependent’ representing a microcosmic image of planetary politics as the space we need to think differently. Finally, Maxine David, Roberta Guerina, and Katharine Wright (2024) argue for envisioning a nakedly normative feminist (re)imagination of planetary politics in the context of the normative power approach.
