Pan‐Europe Revisited
The European Union's (EU) transformation from a peace project to an assertive geopolitical actor reflects enduring tensions in integration theory dating back to the inter‐war period. This paper develops a comparative framework distinguishing territorial integration logic, which emphasises bounded political communities and collective defence, from cooperative integration logic, which prioritises issue‐specific, transnational problem‐solving. It tr…
Teaching European power
This paper advocates the integrated approach to higher education pedagogy, especially in EU Studies. The integrated approach is defined across two dimensions: the integration of space, which includes in-person and online sessions, as well as the integration of delivery method, which includes traditional lecture/seminar format and the more innovative, high-impact pedagogies such assimulations or technology-enhanced teaching. The paper illustrates …
Diversified in unity
The idea of the “geopolitical European Commission”, as put forward by President Ursula von der Leyen, raises fundamental questions about the future direction of this international bureaucracy and the impact of current political choices on its international authority. As we are yet to learn the exact nature and scope of the Commission’s “geopolitical turn”, this paper argues that the European Union’s most unique institution risks undermining its o…
Assessing international relations in undergraduate education
This paper advocates a holistic approach to assessing international relations in undergraduate education, which revolves around: (a) essays and (b) active learning-related tasks, such as simulation reflective statements/reports and performance. The paper argues that, on the one hand, academic essays are far from irrelevant and it is difficult to overestimate their practical significance. On the other hand, active learning-related tasks are best u…
Poland’s Foreign-Policy Turn
The new Poland is no longer an engine of European integration, nor does it seem to value its relationships with Germany and France
Wider Europe, Greater Europe? David Mitrany on European Security Order
How should the structure of European security be reorganized following the conflict in Ukraine? Some respond that the European Union should not bend to Russia's acts of aggression. Others blame the allegedly exclusionary and expansive nature of the Euro‐Atlantic organizations for the conflict. This paper embeds these competing narratives in the functional approach of David Mitrany, specifically in his two distinctive forms of regional integration…
Integrating crisis early warning systems
This paper argues the importance of integrating power considerations into the study of the communities of practice in European studies and International Relations (IR). Since its introduction, the ‘community of practice’ concept has been criticised for implying overly consensual relations of its members. Notably, the concept has been criticised for underplaying the relations of power affecting the structure and processes of the communities of pra…
How to Explain the Transnational Security Governance of the E uropean U nion
This article argues that empirical developments in international security governance offer untapped opportunities for strengthening intellectual links between E uropean U nion ( EU ) studies and international relations. To uncover these links, the article first demonstrates how the EU has started to address various chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear security risks through adopting an approach conceptualized as ‘transnational security …
Germany, Poland and the Common Security and Defence Policy
Somalia versus Captain ‘Hook’
An internal security problem of Somalia—state failure from internal conflict resulting in increased piracy—has increasingly become an external security problem for the European Union (EU). This article contributes to analysing the role of the EU as a security actor in countering piracy off the Horn of Africa, by examining three different dimensions of the EU response to this problem: (a) the immediate EU response (the EU military mission EUNAVFOR…
The EU as an international security actor after Lisbon
This article argues that a holistic approach is important when studying the European Union’s (EU) role as an international security actor, but at the same time it identifies problems in adopting such a comprehensive research agenda. The holistic approach entails that the research must include ‘new’ security problems, such as climate change, but also relevant policies and instruments outside the framework of the Common Security and Defence Policy …
The EU and a holistic security approach after Lisbon
The European Union (EU) aspires to become a truly comprehensive international security actor, coherently utilising the different kinds of instruments at its disposal. To this end, Lisbon Treaty reforms aim to equip EU policy with a stronger sense of strategic direction by bringing external assistance instruments of the EU under the guidance of the High Representative. However, pursuing the norm of a more holistic, strategic international security…
Unrecognized and Unwelcome? The Role of the EU in Preventing the Proliferation of CBRN Weapons, Materials and Knowledge
This article assesses the role of the EU as an actor in the area of non-proliferation of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) weapons, materials and know-how. It focuses primarily on the Russian Federation. Russia's extensive CBRN programmes, combined with bad economy, weak security and high unemployment among CBRN scientists, have become a major source of concern for the international community following the end of the cold war …
The European Union as a Security Actor
It is suggested in this article that there is a discrepancy between, on the one hand, literature that focuses on the European Union (EU) as a security actor and, on the other, contemporary security studies literature. This difference concerns the fact that the literature on the EU as a security actor treats security in a narrower sense than how it is approached in the literature on security studies. Over the past few decades, security studies lit…
Euthanasia, Gay Marriages and Sovereignty
On 10 October 2009 the President Lech Kaczynski signed the Ratification Act of the Lisbon Treaty, thereby concluding a long and painful ratification process in Poland. The President waited for the result of the second Irish referendum, despite the fact that the Polish Parliament ratified the Treaty already in April 2008. This comment discusses ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in Poland and it has the following structure. Firstly, it briefly disc…
