  • Shifting narratives? The EU’s approach to the Indo-Pacific after the war in Ukraine
    Item type: Journal Article
    Grgić, Gorana; Tercovich, Giulia (2025)
    Journal of European Integration
    The EU’s release of its first Indo-Pacific strategy in 2021 was seen as a significant step in its growing geopolitical ambitions. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequent security crisis have suggested a shift in policymakers’ attention and a reordering of the EU’s strategic priorities. This article examines how the war in Ukraine has impacted the EU’s narrative and actions in the Indo-Pacific. Drawing on the literature on EU actorness, it seeks to determine whether the war has accelerated or decelerated the EU’s urgency to engage in the Indo-Pacific. It does so by looking at the evolution of the EU’s relations with ASEAN and Taiwan. The article includes textual analysis of strategic documents, policy pronouncements, and speeches from both before and after the war began in February 2022, providing insights into the evolution of the EU-Indo-Pacific cooperation and the EU’s growing role in the region.
  • From projection to introspection: enlargement discourses since the ‘big bang’ accession
    Item type: Journal Article
    Wunsch, Natasha; Olszewska, Nicole (2022)
    Journal of European Integration
    This article explores enlargement discourses as a way to gauge the broader dynamics of European integration since the historical Eastern accession round. Studying debates in the national parliaments of France, Germany, Hungary, and Poland between 2004 and 2017, we use qualitative frame analysis to discern three types of political discourse on EU widening: normative discourses stress the EU’s soft power and its moral obligation towards candidate countries; pragmatic discourses concentrate on conditionality and enlargement as a stabilisation tool; and institutional discourses emphasize efficiency and state capacity. Our findings point to a diminished relevance of the external projection of EU values and practices and instead a stronger introspective emphasis on democratic quality and internal consolidation. Overall, discourses on EU enlargement thus mirror a broader shift in the perceived nature and direction of European integration.
