SUMMARY:Mapping Contestation of EU Foreign Policy and External Relations: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:Webtalk/ Webinar organized by Working Group 3 – Contestation \nConvenors: Dario Čepo \nThe webinar will present the exploratory research and an introductory overview of the elements relevant for mapping contestation of EU external relations. The research\, which has been done by Elodie Thevenin\, Antonio Karlović\, and Dario Čepo\, will be used as a springboard for an upcoming edited volume on the same topic. The focus will be on presenting the research into areas being contested among EU policy actors and to present potential blank spots that should be covered by future research. By using the toolbox developed through the work of leading contestation scholars\, including the work done through this COST network\, the research will showcase potential common theoretical frameworks and methods used so far\, detect key arenas of contestations\, and in the end analyze the views on contestation\, positing that despite commonly referencing it as a negative phenomenon in the EU policy arena\, sometimes contestation can be viewed in a positive light as well. \nPlease register online at: info@foreignpolicynewrealities.eu \nClick here for the official flyer:

SUMMARY:Partnerships in Crisis: The European Union’s Strategic Partnerships in a Turbulent World Arena
DESCRIPTION:Webtalk organized by Working Group 4 – Relations \nConvenors: Michael Smith\, Laura Ferreira-Pereira\, Andrew Cottey \nThis virtual round table is presented by Working Group 4 of the ENTER project\, which is focused on changes and challenges in the EU’s key global relationships. Its starting point is the network of strategic partnerships established by the EU in the first fifteen years of the 21st century\, which is often seen as one of the EU’s claims to global engagement and leverage. Despite the more or less formal agreements between the EU and its major international interlocutors\, the evidence that this gives the EU global reach and diplomatic clout is patchy\, and many of the key partnerships have been thrown into doubt by the development of successive international crises – most recently\, those relating to the COVID pandemic and the retreat from Afghanistan. Contributors will focus on key EU strategic partnerships\, including those with the United States\, Brazil and China\, and where appropriate on the broader nature of the EU’s strategic diplomacy. The discussion will draw upon work conducted for a recent volume: Laura C. Ferreira-Pereira and Michael Smith (eds) The European Union’s Strategic Partnerships: global diplomacy in a contested world. Palgrave Macmillan\, 2021. \nPlease register online at: info@foreignpolicynewrealities.eu \nClick here for the official flyer:

SUMMARY:Marriage of Convenience or Love Match? Right-wing Populist Relations between Israel and Europe
DESCRIPTION:Webtalk at Schader Foundation organized by Working Group 2 – Perception and Communication \nConvenors: Michèle Knodt\, Sharon Pardo\, Veith Selk \nAnti-Semitic and Israelophobic tendencies within right-wing populism are often the subject of critical reporting in Germany. In particular\, Viktor Orbán’s campaign loaded with anti-Semitic connotations against George Soros has been followed closely in Germany. However\, the message sent by former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Jerusalem to Brussels in February 2019\, during a visit by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to Israel\, was hardly noticed. He explained that there is a strong connection between Israel and Orbán’s Hungary\, based on the “many things” that these two countries have shared\, both in the past and in the present. According to Netanyahu\, Israel and Hungary are “both small nations\, democracies that share common values and interests”. Is there a tradition of right-wing populism in Israel that Netanyahu was drawing on with his statement? Is the partnership between Netanyahu’s Israel and Orbán’s Hungary characteristic of a change that Israel has undergone? And what calculations\, core convictions and contradictions underlie the positions of European right-wing populists towards Israel? In cooperation with the Technical University Darmstadt and under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Michèle Knodt\, the Schader Foundation will address this topic in a public evening event that will take place digitally. It is part of the COST Action ENTER Week. \nPlease register via e-mail by 3 October 2021 at: kontakt@schader-stiftung.de \nClick here for the official flyer:

SUMMARY:External Perceptions of the EU as Times of Global Crises: Continuity and Change?
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Panel organized and held by Working Group 2 – Perception and Communication \nConvenors: Organized and led by Natalia Chaban\, co-led by Michele Knodt\, Sonia Lucarelli\, Ole Elgström and Karine Lisbonne de Vergeron \nContributors: Andrea Ribeiro Hoffman\, Paula Sandrin\, Eric Tremolada\, Andrea Quiroga\, Roberto Dominguez\, Pauline Heinrichs\, Babak Bahador\, Toni Haastrup\, John Kotsopulous\, Karine Lisbonne de Vergeron\, Michito Tsuruoka\, Paramitaningrum\, Elena Ananieva\, Thomas Christiansen\, Iana Sabatovych\, Natalia Chaban\, Elizabete Vizgunova-Vikmane\, Kateryna Pryshchepa \nThe Virtual Panel “External perceptions of the EU as times of global crises: Continuity and Change?” tracks and maps the perceptions of the EU in 13 key global partners. It contributes to the debate on the EU’s actorness and its global recognition\, discusses the EU’s perceived effectiveness and normative identity\, and dissects expectations-perceptions gaps at times of global uncertainty and crises. The panel examines how key global partners see the match between the EU’s words and deeds and whether they recognise the EU as following its principles consistently. Discovered patterns in continuity and change of perceptions add to the debate about the EU as a global actor and on how it may engage with a more comprehensive and strategic approach in its external actions\, including effective and innovative public diplomacy. \nThe panel discusses external perceptions of the EU following the logic of the geo-political regions and features research collaborations across the borders.  Case Latin America compares perceptions of the EU in Brazil\, Colombia and Mexico (developed and presented by Andrea Ribeiro Hoffman\, Paula Sandrin\, Eric Tremolada\, Andrea Quiroga and Roberto Dominguez). Case North America compares views on the EU in the US and Canada (delivered by Pauline Heinrichs and Babak Bahador). Case Africa compares images of the EU in Nigeria and South Africa (undertaken by Toni Haastrup and John Kotsopulous). Case the Indo-Pacific compares perceptions from India\, Japan and Indonesia (researched by Karine Lisbonne de Vergeron\, Michito Tsuruoka and Paramitaningrum). A comparative case on Russia and China is developed and presented by Elena Ananieva\, Thomas Christiansen\, Iana Sabatovych and Natalia Chaban. A comparative research into public opinion across all 13 countries is undertaken by Elizabete Vizgunova-Vikmane and Kateryna Pryshchepa. \nPlease notice: Registration for this event is closed. \nClick here for the official flyer:

SUMMARY:Glasses into Blinders? Seeing like the EU in a Contested International Order
DESCRIPTION:Webtalk/ Webinar organized and held by Working Group 3 – Contestation \nConvenors: Oriol Costa\, Helene Sjursen (tbc) \nThis webinar takes stock of some of the lessons learned regarding the contestation of EU foreign policy\, and offers a conceptualization of the next steps forward by making the link between this research and norm literature more explicit. More to the point\, the argument is that norms and rules are a key element in “seeing like the EU”\, drawing a parallel with C. Scott’s argument on how states interpret and try to shape an otherwise intractably messy reality. Norms and rules are a way for the EU to understand its relationship with itself and\, more importantly for us\, with the wider world. They sit at the centre of its legibility project. However\, the crisis of the (rules-based) liberal international order is presenting the EU with new dilemmas regarding constitutive\, regulative and procedural norms\, in a way that forces the EU to reconsider some of its choices. Old glasses might turn into blinders. \nPlease register online at: info@foreignpolicynewrealities.eu \nClick here for the official flyer:
