Working Paper

This working paper takes the case of European policies in support of resilience in the EU’s neighbourhood to explore the potential of a more flexible model of theory-practice engagement based on knowledge exchange rather than transfer.

This working paper capitalizes on EU-LISTCO’s analytical framework to explore the influence of migration and radicalization on risks created by areas of limited statehood and contested orders in the Eastern Neighbourhood.

This working paper discusses the governance of political economy in areas of limited statehood and contested orders by focusing on the issue of state capture.

This working paper capitalizes on EU-LISTCO’s analytical framework to assess the preparedness of the European Union and Member States in addressing situations of limited statehood and contested orders in Mali.

This working paper explores global and diffuse risks and how we should think about their potential to turn into threats that overwhelm societal resilience in areas of limited statehood, precipitating violent conflict and governance breakdown.

This paper examines the diplomatic, economic, and military instruments that the EU mobilises in a resilience-informed external action.

This paper explores the extent to which global and diffuse risks impact the Eastern Partnership countries of the EU’s Eastern neighbourhood.

Drawing on EU-LISTCO’s conceptual framework, this paper defines the analytical category of resilience and provides a roadmap to study its characteristics in configurations of areas of limited statehood and contested order.

The EU’s economic and political instruments have become gradually dominated by resilience framings, with an emphasis on multilateralism, adaptation, and long-term and bottom-up responses.

Innovative quantitative approaches can help the EU know about, prepare for, and possibly help prevent governance breakdown and violent conflict in its neighbourhood.
