Abstract

The article is divided into three sections. Section 1 explores the theoretical question at the core of the rationalist-constructivist debate as it relates to NATO and EU expansion. Section 2 builds a theoretical argument about the relationship between speech acts, norm construction and institutional interests. Section 3 develops a research agenda for comparing the expansion of the EU and NATO within this framework.
