The Socio-Cultural Dimension Of The European Union’s Eastern Partnership: Contingencies And Prospects

Journal Title: Athenaeum. Polskie Studia Politologiczne - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 52

Abstract

The aim of the paper is an attempt at evaluating the Eastern Partnership from the point of view of the socio-cultural dimension in a broad sense. Do cultural and civilisational factors influence relations between the EU and Eastern European and South Caucasus countries? Is the EU capable of further enlargement? Th e Eastern Partnership is experiencing significant turmoil (Russia-Ukraine war, unstable South Caucasus) which begs the question of the future of the policy. Moreover, the paper tackles the issue of the EU’s internal factors and their influence upon relations with Eastern countries.
