Coming of age in Europe? Polish perceptions of power relations within the EU and Nato
Russian aggression against Ukraine in 2014, followed by the full-scale invasion in 2022, drastically altered Poland’s security landscape. Poland became a frontline state and a major provider of aid to Ukraine. This tested relations between allied states, ultimately demonstrating the willingness of Western partners to secure allies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). This article analyses the shifts in perceptions of the EU and NATO in the immedi…
Hardly a nexus. The Polish frames on humanitarian assistance, peace, and development aid for Ukraine and Ukrainians in 2022
The outbreak of the Russian war on Ukraine in February 2022 brought unprecedented humanitarian challenges and shattered the foundations of the security architecture in Europe. The humanitarian-development-peace triple nexus (HDP TN), presented as a novel approach to protracted conflicts by the United Nations, became a crucial resource for rethinking reactions to conflicts. However, the nexus’ limited applicability has been questioned (Brown et al…
Nested, Pooled, or Exclusively National? Contested Sovereignty Models in Debates on the Future of Europe
The increasing electoral support for right-wing and far-right parties in Europe has brought the question of sovereignty back to the forefront of debates on European integration. These parties often challenge the transfer of national powers to the EU, making sovereignty a central point of contention. The main axis of the dispute on the shape and future of the EU lies between views calling for deeper integration and those advocating the protection …
Sovereignty to the Leader
The European Union gives rise to competing claims regarding the nature of sovereignty and democracy. While some view European integration as a source of non-democratic domination against sovereignty, others see sovereignty and democracy reinforced by integration processes. The former views have been made vocal by some political actors in the Visegrad countries – Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Via analysing how sovereignty and democracy a…
The role of religion in sovereignist narratives of European integration
The sovereignist vision of European integration is becoming increasingly present in the debate on the EU, although it is difficult to build a compelling narrative on European integration accommodating radical sovereignist claims. We look at the role religion plays in the construction of sovereignist narratives, taking Polish right-wing populist parties as our case study. In the findings we highlight the identitarian role of religion and the mecha…
Religion in the narratives of Polish members of the European Parliament – politicising European integration
The contribution investigates the role of religion in the work and attitudes of Polish members of the European Parliament (MEPs). It draws on two types of data: the results of the Polish part of the survey on Religion in the European Parliament and in European multilevel governance II (RelEP2) and qualitative content analysis of Polish MEPs’ speeches from the first part of the European Parliament’s ninth term of office (July 2019–June 2021). The …
Contesting the EU’s external democratization agenda
This article analyses how populist parties in power contest the external democratization agenda within the European Union (EU)’s European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). We present an analytical framework that conceptually unpacks both contestation and populism to argue that radical right, market liberal, regionalist and left-wing populist parties differ from each other concerning their views on external democratization. Our empirical focus is on the…
Competing Visions
The enlargement of 2004 and 2007 significantly transformed the European Union in political, economic, and social terms. It also challenged the collective identities of Western Europeans as well as each of the newcomers. However, for new members, the prospect of joining a supranational political entity posed a threat to their newly established or regained sovereignty and nationhood. The integration triggered a process of redefinition of both their…
Defenders of faith? Victims of secularisation? Polish politicians and religion in the European Parliament
Recent years have shown a growing academic interest in the role and function of religion in the EU. This resulted from ongoing discussions on the symbolic deficit of the European project and politicised debate on the Christian roots of European identity, as well as from the enlargement of 2004, which brought into the EU new member-states with different traditions of church–state relations and distinctive forms of religious governance. Our study c…
