Description
The baseline study, produced under the GEO-POWER-EU Project, provides a detailed bibliographical reference and a conceptual framework to guide the project’s future phases as well as serves as both a starting point and a resource for ongoing discussions, fostering a reexamination of long-held assumptions to better inform future policy.
Key highlights include:
- An analysis of EU Enlargement and Eastern Partnership policies, focusing on democratic consolidation, economic convergence, and security alignment.
- A historical perspective on geopolitical competition in the Western Balkans and Eastern Neighbourhood, examining the roles of global and regional powers.
- A critical review of EU foreign, security, and defense policies, with insights into EU strategic autonomy and responses to recent challenges.
