The European Union as an International Actor
This volume analyses the European Union as an international actor, focusing on its role in peace and security. In an international context where the challenges to peace and security are diverse, including the current context of war in Ukraine, this volume theoretically contextualizes the EU in peace and security studies, explores the institutional dimension of its functioning, and interprets the narratives and policies this actor pursues. A set of illustrative case studies seeks to reflect on the dynamics of peace and security within the framework of the EU and its actions/interventions, such as in the Eastern Partnership or in relations with Russia, and in contexts such as growing disinformation or through its presence on a mission on the ground.
Conflict and Security in the Former Soviet Union
Title first published in 2003. Conflict and Security in the Former Soviet Union examines the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)'s approach to post-Cold War tensions and conflicts in the former Soviet area, the extent to which the new procedures, mechanisms and instruments developed by the organization are useful, and how the OSCE's activities may reveal innovative contributions to conflict studies.
EU Global Actorness in a World of Contested Leadership
This book contributes to the literature on the EU’s role in the international system by engaging with the debates on global actorness and mapping new conceptual and theoretical avenues to better understand how agency and power are exerted at the global and regional levels, in a context of increased contestation of the international liberal order. Organised around three main lines, the book first looks at how the EU positions itself internationally in different policy areas, providing a multi-dimensional reading of EU policies, instruments, and practices; secondly, it engages with the EU’s own perspective toward its regional contexts and with the perspectives of regional actors on the EU; and, thirdly, it explores non-European perspectives on EU actorness, as the way the EU is perceived by others in this system of contested leadership is central to how it is understood in terms of policies, instruments, and overall capability to lead and act as a global power.
Competing for Influence
Central and East European Studies Series, 2 (International Studies Library, 33) Over the past decade the policies of the European Union and the Russian Federation have increasingly come into conflict, as both have attempted to pursue their interests in their respective 'neighbourhoods', neighbourhoods that overlap thoughout post-Soviet territory. Russia views efforts by the EU to establish closer political and economic ties and to support democratic political developments in the region as direct challenges to Russia's 'legitimate' interests. With the reemergence of Russia as an important international actor under Vladimir Putin, Russian policy became increasing assertive in protecting those ...
Política externa: as relações internacionais em mudança, 2ª edição
Esta proposta de Estudos resulta da identificação de lacunas bibliográficas, especialmente no que concerne a estudos sistematizados e inclusivos que combinem teorização e vasta análise empírica na área da política externa. Deste modo, trata-se de um trabalho abrangente, englobando um capítulo teórico sobre actores, processos e teorias de decisão em política externa, e desenvolvendo uma série de estudos de caso identificados como fundamentais, pela sua diversidade geográfica e implicações em termos do dinamismo que representam no (re)ordenamento do sistema internacional. Este estudo analisa os processos associados à formulação e implementação da política externa, como estruturas institucionais, definição da agenda, instrumentos, processo de decisão e prossecução de objectivos, permitindo um entendimento amplo, num enquadramento multi-nível, embora não exaustivo das principais dinâmicas associadas à política externa. A análise de múltiplos estudos de caso confere a este trabalho uma dimensão de estudo não só fundamental como muito necessária nesta área de trabalho e investigação.
Russia and European Security
Central and East European Studies Series, 1 (International Studies Library, 32) Over the past two decades Russia's relations with Europe and the West, in general, have deteriorated, as Russia rebuilt its international political and economic foundations and its leaders decided to pursue a policy of reestablishing Russia as the major regional actor and as an important global power. The chapters that comprise the volume examine the factors that drive Russian foreign policy, including those that divide Europe from Russia. They then examine the specifics of Russian relations with the European Union and NATO and the impact of U.S.-Russian relations on the Russian-European relationship. They conclu...
Russia and its Near Neighbours
Russia has recently re-emerged as the dominant political, economic and military actor in former Soviet nations. Kanet and Freire bring together a stellar cast of contributors to consider Russia's recent return as a major regional and international actor and its likely future policy toward its neighbours.
União Europeia como Ator Internacional: Paz e Segurança nas Narrativas e Práticas
Este volume analisa a União Europeia como ator internacional, focando na sua atuação na área da paz e da segurança. Num contexto internacional onde os desafios à paz e segurança são diversos, incluindo o atual contexto de guerra na Ucrânia, este volume contextualiza teoricamente a UE nos estudos de paz e segurança, trabalha a dimensão institucional, e interpreta as narrativas e políticas aqui implicadas. Um conjunto de estudos de caso ilustrativos procurarão refletir sobre as dinâmicas de paz e segurança no quadro da UE e das suas ações/intervenções, como por exemplo na Parceria a Leste ou nas relações com a Rússia, e em contextos como o de crescente desinformação ou através da sua presença numa missão no terreno.
Russia and the European Union
Freire and Brandyo analyse EU-Russia relations through a political-security approach, focusing on the issue of transnational terrorism as a case-study. Through a Constructivist and critically-informed perspective, they deconstruct rigidified understandings of a much debated concept - that of security - with implications in the EU-Russia relationship. Moreover, they address the issue of transnational terrorism through a critical prism, putting into perspective EU and Russian approaches in the reinforcement, or not, of internal and international security, besides their mutual security. This book offers an innovative insight into the study of EU-Russia relations, by centering the analysis on the security actorness of these distinct actors, investigating the implications of this to the understanding of dynamics of cooperation and competition in EU-Russia relations, particularly with regard to terrorism.
