Non-EU external actors' perceptions in the Eastern Neighbourhood case countries
This paper is a report prepared for Work Package (WP) 6 “Non-EU External Actors: Partners, Competitors or Adversaries?” of the SHAPEDEM-EU project. The report contains the outcomes of two separate yet parallel tasks related to the analysis of non-European Union external actors’ impact on the three case countries of Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine as well as perceptions of this impact. The non-EU external actors under analysis are China, the Council of Europe, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States from the period 2010 to 2024. This deliverable contains information related to the conceptual insights applied for analysing the actors and the SHAPEDEM-EU activities involved to gain these insights. The key results from this deliverable involve impact assessments, perceptions analysis and case study conclusions. The annex contains three longer, separate reports on the impact of external actors on Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine.
