Competing proteans
摘要
This special issue considers protean power as it applies to the EU, introduces a slight but significant change to the definition of protean power, identifies further questions regarding the distinctions between risk and uncertainty, and potentially represents a distinct turn in the “life” of the concept. The original formulation combined both uncertainty and the underlying conditions that made the protean possible. But the special issue pays relatively little attention to uncertainty and tends toward a protean that becomes tantamount to conventional definitions of adaptation.
