Policy brief summarizing perception studies in Kosovo

This policy brief will enhance the findings of D5.01 and D5.02 by exploring how EU actions are received and perceived by local actors in Kosovo. It will build on interviews and focus groups with local actors in Pristina and in regions of Kosovo.

Working paper on EU policies towards Serbia and Kosovo

This deliverable will provide a top-down overview of EU crisis response in Serbia and Kosovo throughout the conflict cycle. The focus will be on the institutional dynamics on the EU side including identification of priorities and goals in crisis management; identification and activation of diplomatic and economic tools in the enlargement framework; and coordination mechanisms between the EU-level institutions and member states’ government at various stages of the crisis. The working paper will be based primarily on desk research of official documents and reports as well as on a series of interviews with senior officials in DG NEAR in the European Commission and the EEAS in Brussels.

Working paper on implementation of EU crisis response in Afghanistan

This working paper will analyse how the EU and its member states are implementing its crisis response (i. e. the outcome dimension of EU policy-making) on the ground throughout the conflict cycle concerning Afghanistan. The working paper will identify the dynamics between the EU and its member states, division of tasks and compatibility of approaches. How priority areas identified in task 1 are implemented on the ground and who are the main local interlocutors? Is implementation conflict- and context-sensitive and does it address vulnerable groups? The analysis will also take into account actions of other key international actors (UN, NATO, US, AU, BRICS etc.) on the ground to see where and how the EU’s responses fit into the broader international community’s response. The study will analyse internal cohesion of responses (EU and member states) and assess whether EU’s actions are complementary or contradictory with the responses of other actors.

Policy brief summarizing perception studies in Iraq

This policy brief will provide a bottom-up analysis of the impact dimensions of EU crisis response in terms of how it is received and perceived by different local actors in Iraq throughout the conflict cycle. Such a study will identify reception of EU policies at the state level (e.g. reforms, training activities) and whether EU response is corresponding to the needs of the target state (local ownership). At the same time it will also address which non-elite groups are being targeted and how different groups perceive EU responses. Are EU responses perceived as conflict-sensitive and as addressing the needs of vulnerable groups? Is there a difference between reception/perception of the EU and member states? How do EU responses measure up to responses of other international actors?

Working paper on EU policies towards Iraq, Afghanistan and Mali

This working paper will provide a top-down overview of EU crisis response regarding the output dimension of EU policy-making across the three cases (Afghanistan, Iraq, and Mali) throughout the conflict cycle. It will entail an analysis of a) how the problem is perceived and defined by the EU and its MS, b) what the EU identifies as its policy goals and priority areas in its response (intent), including diplomatic, economic engagement, c) what the EU defines as appropriate strategies and instruments as part of its CFSP policy (including CSDP).

Working paper on best practices in EU crisis response and policy implementation

This deliverable will analyse the status of the Union’s mechanism for making use of best practices and lessons learnt in the field of crisis response. Thus, the paper will investigate how and to what extent this is being done in different phases of the project: the decision-making process (from the time when a crisis occurs until a decision is made concerning the response), but also how the policy so far has been implemented and followed-up.

Working paper mapping the EU crises response toolbox, its institutions and decisionmaking processes

This deliverable will provide an overview of the current EU crisis response capacity. It will describe the current institutional framework and the decision-making processes. It will put emphasis on the capacity at the EU-level, but also investigate the extent to which the Union has developed an institutional capacity to coordinate its activities with other IOs (NATO, UN, AU etc.) as well as with the individual member states activities in this area.

Working paper on implementation of EU crisis response in Serbia and Kosovo

This deliverable will analyse how the EU and its member states operate in crisis management on the ground in Serbia and Kosovo throughout the conflict cycle. The focus will be on the implementation of decisions and plans identified in the working paper D5.01 on the ground. Interactions with other international organisations on the ground such as the UN, NATO, the US, Russia and OSCE will also be included in the analysis. The study will be based on data gathered in official reports as well as via fieldwork and interviews on the ground in both Kosovo and Serbia.

Working paper on EU policies towards Libya and Ukraine

Background paper providing a top-down overview of strategic documents and action plans. The researchers will conduct both a desk review (content analysis, discourse analysis), and a preliminary round of interviews in Brussels. The paper aims at identifying two possible EU policy models, targeting/addressing the neighbourhood, one directed towards the Eastern flank and the other the Southern flank. The paper provides a theoretically-informed account of EU policy making in an evolving strategic scenario, by examining actions undertaken by key EU and non-EU actors throughout the conflict cycle.

EUNPACK will make project experts available for TV question time, radio interviews and TV debates – to be arranged and facilitated with the EU and national media, linking up with major news outlets such as the BBC World Service, RFE/ RL, Euronews and others. Press conferences and media briefings are to be held during the selected project events in the EU and (post-)conflict regions
