Концепция «нормативной власти», впервые введенная Яном Дж. Маннерсом, обычно применяется к внешней политике Европейского союза (ЕС). Она описывает способность распространять свои нормы и ценности среди других (чаще – соседних) государств, формируя общепринятое понимание того, что является «нормальным» в международных отношениях. В данной работе, присоединяющейся к набирающей популярность литературе, посвященной поиску феномена нормативной силы за пределами Европы, утверждается, что Ассоциация государств Юго-Восточной Азии (АСЕАН) является еще одной региональной группировкой, которая пытается распространить свои нормы и ценности по всему миру, тем самым превращая себя в источник «нормативной силы». В структурном плане данная работа построена следующим образом. Во-первых, автор кратко останавливается на концепции нормативной власти Я. Маннерса и ее применимости по отношению к Европе и Азии. Во-вторых, в статье определяются азиатские ценности, которые могут быть основой для нормативной позиции АСЕАН в мире. Сравнение ценностей АСЕАН и ЕС построено на рассмотрении двух проблем: роли государства в повседневной жизни людей и продвижении прав человека. В качестве примера последнего автор останавливается на кризисе в Мьянме, который вызвал резкую критику со стороны международного сообщества. Делается вывод, что превращение АСЕАН в «нормативную державу» весьма сомнительно, поскольку ее потенциал как поставщика норм ограничен группой развивающихся стран, которые отвергают западный универсализм и пытаются найти свой собственный путь в мировой политике.

The idea of normative power Europe, pioneered by Ian J. Manners, is usually applied to the European Union’s foreign policy. It states that the EU promotes one’s norms and values among adjacent states, determining what is “normal” in international relations. This paper, along with the burgeoning literature that looks for normative power beyond Europe, argues that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is another regional grouping that attempts to disseminate its norms and values worldwide, thus transforming itself into a nascent “normative power.” Structure-wise, this paper proceeds as follows. First, I will briefly overview the concept of Ian Manner’s normative power and its applicability to Europe and Asia. Second, I will determine the Asian values that may be the basis for ASEAN’s normative stance in the world. My comparison of ASEAN and the EU’s values are structured along with several topical issues: the role of a state in people’s quotidian life and the question of human rights promotion. I exemplify the latter with the Myanmar crisis that evoked harsh criticism of the international community. I conclude that the transformation of ASEAN into a “normative power” is rather dubious since there are limits in promoting the Asian norms and values. In ASEAN, there is a group of developing countries that reject Western universalism and struggle to find their own way in world politics.
