Summary: | This undergraduate thesis examines the Normative Power Europe, a concept written
by Ian Manners to explain the actorness as well as the ideal objectives of European Union in
international politics. This research uses EU�s external action in Indonesia after the fall of
Suharto-regime to prove that EU diffuses their norms and values through their actions. The
thesis argues that EU�s action in Indonesia is based on three foundation: principle (the
action is based on universal or regional norms and principles), action (emphasize on
persuasive, dialogues, and symbolic-sanction methods), and impact (good socialization to the
society and also has a sustainable impact). This could be seen through several policy, for
example Aceh Monitoring Mission where the EU focused on dialogue approach to mediate
Indonesia and GAM during the peace-building process
