معرفی
Trineke Palm is a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research focuses on the evolving nature of the EU’s international power, particularly its military and security policies. She explores topics such as normative power theory, strategic autonomy, and the EU’s role as an international security actor in contexts like defense missions (e.g., EUNAVFOR Atalanta) and crisis management.
Her work emphasizes the intersection of military operations with EU identity, institutional learning, and transnational cooperation. Notable projects include the NWO-funded 'Normative Power and Military Means' (2012–2016), examining the EU’s evolving security strategies. Palm has engaged in media commentary on European defense integration, Brexit’s security implications, and the emotional dimensions of EU narratives. She frequently participates in expert discussions and public lectures addressing contemporary European security challenges, including debates on a potential European army and the future of EU strategic autonomy.
Her publications span peer-reviewed articles in journals like European Security and Cambridge Review of International Affairs, as well as policy-oriented analyses and media contributions. Palm’s research bridges theoretical frameworks with practical policy analysis, offering insights into how emotional discourse, historical narratives, and institutional dynamics shape EU security and defense policy.
