EU’s Diplomatic Actorness in the Eastern Neighbourhood: Learning the Possible Outcomes for EU – Ukraine Bilateral Relations
Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2018, Vol 25, Issue 25
Abstract
Stability and security constitute the crucial targets the EU seeks to achieve in the Eastern neighbourhood, given the Ukrainian crisis and Russian presence in the region. For the EU it is thus essential to develop new strategies to engage in peacekeeping in the region, especially in the diplomatic domain. Following the enactment of the Lisbon Treaty, the European External Action Service (EEAS) became a key diplomatic player in the EU’s foreign policy. This paper analyses the place and role of the European External Action Service in the Eastern Partnership and in EU-Ukraine bilateral relations. The author assesses and explains key variations in the EEAS’ approach to the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region: the bilateral track and multilateral framework. The study finds that EEAS is endowed with specific powers, which helps the EU to reach a certain degree of administrative efficiency on both EaP levels.
