This book connects the scholarly discussions on 'security' and
'resilience', by examining the various definitions and meanings of the
terms in the EU's Eastern Partnership (EaP) policy, and in what ways
the EU has attempted to define the relationship between security and
resilience in its official rhetoric and in policy practice. The
Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has largely been viewed
as an extraordinary resilience test for the EU. The war has unleashed
multiple crises ranging from security and asylum to energy and the
economy, in turn raising questions not only on how the EU can ensure
the resilience of its eastern partners, but also questions existential
to the EU, such as institutional and policy reform, further EU
enlargement and the EU's role in a rapidly changing global context of
polarisation and fragmentation. The chapters in this edited volume
draw on a diversity of original conceptual and theoretical frameworks
that are combined with an empirical analysis of often overlooked
dimensions of EU’s policy towards the EaP countries, drawing on the
original data collected by the authors, including the semi-structured
interviews. In light of the aforementioned challenges, the chapters to
this book have only increased in relevance, pointing to pathways and
opportunities for the EU to strengthen the resilience of its eastern
partners and its own resilience in the future, and inviting
policy-makers and scholars to reflect on potential pitfalls,
contradictions and limitations of EU resilience-building. This book
will be beneficial to students, scholars and academics interested in
European Studies, Politics and International Security. The chapters in
this book were originally published in the Journal of Contemporary
European Studies.
