Abstract

The chapter proposes that a constitutive approach to analysing the role of theories drawing on the concept of performativity can be used to great advantage in the study of the role of theories on European foreign policy. The focus is on how the articulation of the concept of capability-expectations gap (CEG), first formulated by Christopher Hill in 1993, has shaped the way in which EU foreign policy has been studied. The argument is that, when the CEG concept is used in analyses of the EU foreign policy, it draws on a gap discourse which constructs the EU as a foreign policy actor with particular problems.
