Changing EU Policies in Times of War: How Increasing EU Acceptance Affects European Identities in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine?

Descrizione del progetto

Identità mutevoli ai confini dell’Europa

La Georgia, la Moldavia e l’Ucraina hanno affrontato divisioni interne per abbracciare un futuro europeo e mantenere identità alternative modellate dalla storia e dall’influenza russa, nell’ambito di un braccio di ferro che complica il loro progresso democratico e le speranze di adesione all’UE. Tuttavia, la guerra in corso in Ucraina ha accelerato la spinta dell’UE a rimodellare la propria politica nei confronti di questi paesi, concedendo loro lo status di candidati. Con il sostegno del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto EUROIDE esplora il modo in cui l’evoluzione delle politiche dell’UE nei confronti di questo trio di nazioni influenza i dibattiti sulla loro identità in patria. Comprendendo questi cambiamenti, EUROIDE fa luce su ciò che spinge l’accettazione dei valori europei in una regione stretta tra due mondi.

Obiettivo

The Russian-Ukrainian war marked a turn in the EU`s policy towards its Eastern Partnership (EaP) members, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The EU has been gradually opening since 2014 and offered a candidate status in 2022 and 2023. Thus, currently the EU faces a challenge of modifying its EaP policy and deciding how these countries can be led to the membership. However, these countries’ move towards Europe, which is based on European self-identification, has been contested domestically by alternative identities, including those advocated by Russia. The lack of a single identity has been noted as a challenge to domestic consensus on democratisation, to the EU rule transfer and implementation and as an incitement for external intervention. But considering the leap in the EU and Russian policies, this context faces potential restructuring. While we know how the EU policies might affect rule adoption beyond its borders, the question of its influence on identity debates has yet to be addressed. The goal of EUROIDE is to understand whether and under what conditions increasing acceptance from the EU side in times of Russian aggression instigates change in identity contestation. This understanding will provide well-needed insights into domestic constellations in regard to accepting or resisting democratisation and Europeanisation processes in value terms. To achieve the research objective, I will conduct a longitudinal and comparative study of identity discourses in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine under changing EU approach since 2014. EUROIDE will be based on a strong interdisciplinary approach, bridging political and psychological theories and computer science, Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to analyse identity discourses. To ensure the successful implementation of the project, leading scholars in the studies of Europeanisation and the post-Soviet region will supervise me. EUROIDE will strengthen my academic profile towards advanced funding and a tenured position.
