WORKSHOP: Building resilience in the EU's neighbourhood
countries. New approaches for a more effective Eastern
Partnership
Rationale
The subject related to resilience involve, inter alia, the
need for a radical overhaul of the neighbourhood strategy,
in general, and of the Eastern Partnership, in particular,
to advance the transformative processes in the EaP countries
by adapting their economies and societies to European
standards. In effect, the EU's main challenge regarding its
Eastern Neighbourhood is to find new approaches and action
tools in the region that would be most adequate for the
geopolitical context (defined by instability and multiple
shocks) and for the specificities of each country
(structural fragilities, economic, social and institutional
risks). Nevertheless, since the values, models of governance
or reforms cannot be imposed from the outside, merely
searching for optimal formulas at the EU level is clearly
not enough. The perspective of development in the region is
directly dependent on the capacity of EaP countries to
assume and implement reforms in moments of abrupt change and
rupture of political and social stability. This means that
it is necessary to find common solutions, outside and
inside, and advance better understanding of the region as a
whole, by integrating a systemic analysis of the internal
and external shocks and vulnerabilities.
