| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This Special Issue of Geopolitics on state building and contested statehood comes at an apposite time. As Bouris and Papadimitriou note in their introduction, a range of EU state building tools and frameworks in the Union’s near abroad are now evident, including the Neighbourhood Policy, development of the Common Security and Defence Policy, and conditionality-related effects of Europeanization. All have experienced some form of political contestation. Moreover, profound questions now face the six-decade old project of European political integration as it confronts a surge in populist nationalism among its (currently) twenty-eight member states. This has left the process of European statebuilding in flux, buffeted by competing supranational, national and subnational political imperatives and often divisive EUropean popular imaginaries. |
