Abstract:
This thesis endeavours to explain to what extent the EU could transfer international and societal norms it pursues to the protractors of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during Post-Cold War period by utilising constructivist terms. Accommodation of Israeli and Palestinian people with international normative institutions through their interaction with EU had to confront societal norms of the protractors and other major actors of international system. While capturing historical turns of norm change in the conflict and the role of the EU in norm change, this study claims that unlike propositions of 'EU as a payer to the peace process', the course of the conflict proves that EU has in its tacit way influenced the agenda of the process during the Post Cold War period.
