Abstract:
The object of the project is a comparative foreign policy analysis with regard to different Europeanisation parameters of the states of Germany and Poland with a view to the EU policy of the Eastern neighbourhood. It also links the research strands on the politicisation and securitisation of the ENP. The approach focuses on similarities and differences in the formation of German and Polish foreign policy preferences with regard to, on the one hand, different geostrategic preferences and, on the other, different approaches to democracy promotion in the EU's eastern neighbourhood. The high relevance of the topic is explained by the great influence of the conflict in Ukraine, as well as in particular the consequences of the Belarusian revolutionary movement for the European security architecture. Germany and Poland show strong divergences as well as overlapping interests here, which need to be explained in more detail in a comparison.
