Foreign and Security Policy of East Central Europe [Data]

The study examines diverging preferences of Eastern European EU member states towards a more closely integrated CFSP/CSDP despite similar threats from Russia and declining trust in the U.S. within NATO. The author demonstrates that party-political competition over societal value conflicts (GAL/TAN) are decisive in explaining foreign policy preferences. Through a comparative analysis, the study explains how the consequences of globalization and Europeanization have led to the formation of specific representation mechanisms that continue to shape the states' integration preferences to this day.

本研究考察了东欧欧盟成员国在推动共同外交与安全政策/共同安全与防务政策（Common Foreign and Security Policy/Common Security and Defence Policy，CFSP/CSDP）更紧密整合方面的偏好分化问题——尽管此类成员国均面临来自俄罗斯的同类安全威胁，且北约内部对美国的信任度持续走低。作者论证指出，围绕社会价值冲突展开的政党政治竞争（GAL/TAN）是解释各国外交政策偏好差异的决定性因素。通过比较分析，本研究阐释了全球化与欧洲化的后果如何催生了特定的代表机制，并时至今日仍持续塑造着这些成员国的一体化偏好。
