The Impact

The study deals with the impact of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) on political regimes dynamics in Eastern Partnership countries in the period 2007 to 2013. Based on the regime transition theory, Europeanisation perspective and political economy, the research claims to introduce a new theoretical model which allows to combine domestic and international factors of regime dynamics. By using the rational choice institutionalism as an analytical framework, and employing the multi-value qualitative comparative analysis (mvQCA) in combination with case studies of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine it shows that the ENP could lead to three different outcomes: democratization, stabilization of a hybrid regime, and authoritarian consolidation. The outcomes are explained by the fact that the assistance within the ENP is used by ruling elites for implementation of two conflicting strategies: the strategy of partial political reform equilibrium preservation and the strategy of new political reform equilibrium formation. Variation in the ENP's influence on the dynamics of a particular political regime is dependent on the predominance of one of these strategies, which in turn are mediated by three main domestic factors: the type of political system, the level of political monopolism, and the degree of government effectiveness. The article contains three parts. The first part presents a brief review of the main theoretical approaches to the analysis of political regimes dynamics. A general analytical framework is formulated. The second part shows how the ENP influenced the dynamics of political regimes in Eastern Partnership countries. The third and final part demonstrates the logic of such influence by examples of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

This volume is timely in that it explores key issues which are currently at the forefront of the EU’s relations with its eastern neighbours. It considers the impact of a more assertive Russia, the significance of Turkey, the limitations of the Eastern Partnership with Belarus and Moldova, the position of a Ukraine in crisis and pulled between Russia and the EU, security and democracy in the South Caucasus. It looks at the contested nature of European identity in areas such as the Balkans. In addition it looks at ways in which the EU’s interests and values can be tested in sectors such as trade and migration. The interplay between values, identity and interests and their effect on the interpretation of europeanisation between the EU and its neighbours is a core theme of the volume.

“Europe’s neighbours and European neighbours”? EU enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy in Sejm’s debates 2004-2014 Main aim of this article is an analysis of discursive legitimising practices of selected EU policies. The study focuses on the Sejm’s debates in which the issue of EU Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy with special focus on Eastern Partnership (since 2008) were discussed between 2004 and 2014. The analysis answers the question which aspects of these policies are the most controversial today and why. How political actors perceive the future of the policies? Typical arguments used in debates concentrate on security, economic costs and benefits and the impact on the European integration. However in presented study special attention is paid to cultural, religious and identitarian arguments used by political actors.

The restructuring of the economy of countries of the Eastern Partnership with the EU requires new ways of implementation, which are based on the principles of ecologization, with due consideration of integrated indicators of strategic environmental assessment and balanced resource-efficient, environmentally-friendly production. Subjectmatter: theoretical and practical principles of “green transformations” as a modern direction of the world economy, based on the harmonious use of innovative technologies and the natural environment. Purpose. The main purpose of the publication is to assess how the “green” growth strategy is implemented in the development of the agrarian sector, the demonstration of the importance and efficiency of green growth indicators and their practical application. The realization of the purpose led to solving the research tasks: to substantiate the necessity of forming a change in the agrarian paradigm in the countries of Eastern Europe, to analyse trends of the introduction of green growth, to prove the importance of the efficiency of using the green growth indicators. Methodology. The basis of the research methodology is the dialectical method, which involves the connection theory and practice, the principles of knowledge of the real world, the determinancy of phenomena and interaction processes of external and internal. In order to achieve the purpose and solve the tasks, the following methods were used: system-structural – in the study of the sustainable development of the agrarian sector; abstract-logical – when forming, generalizing, and analysing tendencies of adaptation of the Eastern Partnership countries to the Green Growth Concept; comparative – for comparing the factual data with the theoretical ones and characteristics of changes in time of indicators. As well as the methods of description and comparison were used to determine the vectors for the introduction of green growth in the countries of the Eastern Partnership. Results. New challenges for the world economy make it necessary to modernize the economy solely for ensuring sustainable development through green growth. According to the results of the analysis, the essence of “green” transformations of the agrarian sector was established, which proves the regularity of the inclusion of the ecological factor in the system of basic socio-economic indicators of the development of Eastern European countries. At the same time, on the basis of the generalization of the theoretical provisions, it was found that green growth stimulates competitive, innovative, investment activities, which can lead to new sources of economic growth. For the qualitative expression of the indicators of green growth, the dynamics of GDP of the countries of the Eastern Partnership with the EU and indicators of rational use of natural resources were analysed and summarized. Conclusions. Given the above, the necessity to use indicators of green growth in statistical information is proved, which allows reducing risks of economic growth; reducing the risk of conflicts caused by lack of resources; balancing the ecological imbalance of rural areas. The practical significance of the results obtained is the possibility of their use in the formation of statistical information, and the indicator of the efficiency of agricultural land use makes it possible to trace environmental and resource productivity, multi-factor productivity, dynamics of land use, life expectancy. The research results can be used as an analytical and informational basis for further scientific developments in the field of research on the impact of green transformations on the sustainable development of the agrarian sector.

The European Union (eu) is in search of an appropriate and efficient framework of relations with its neighbours. Recent events show that the eu has failed to prevent escalating civil conflicts in many regions of Ukraine in the eu neighbourhood. This contribution scrutinizes the current eu external policies towards its Eastern neighbours. The first part of the chapter studies the scope and content of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership and their impact on security in the region. The second part of the paper analyses the impact of the eu neighbourhood policies on the ‘post-Crimea’ and ‘post-Donbass’ eu neighbourhood.

The Eastern Partnership (EaP) is undoubtedly a key project of the European Union’s eastern policy. It is being implemented by the EU in cooperation with six partner countries, three of which (Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova) are more committed to establishing integration ties with the EU, while others are more restrained. The article tries to show that the functioning of EaP is influenced not only by its direct implementers, but also by various external actors. The most important of these are global and regional powers such as Russia, the United States, Turkey and China, as well as international financial institutions (including in particular the International Monetary Fund) and, to some extent, the North Atlantic Alliance. Their positions towards the Eastern Partnership may take the form of opposition, support or ambivalence. The analysis carried out allows us to conclude that while the impact of these actors on the functioning of the Eastern Partnership should not be overestimated, it should not be underestimated, especially in the light of possible scenarios for the future.

Eastern Partnership is an initiative of consolidation and deepening of cooperation between European Union and six partner states form Eastern Europe and South Caucasus: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. The cooperation with Eastern Partnership states is founded on two dialog frameworks: bilateral (signing and implementing the association agreement, creating a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, the liberalization of visa regime) and multilateral (it is implemented throughout specialized platforms and initiatives). In this article, the author sets the objective to approach multilaterally the position of Republic of Moldova throughout the set of perspectives and opportunities of political, economic and social integration in the European community, outlining specifically that Republic of Moldova has achieved the main objectives that were agreed on in Prague in 2009:signing the Association Agreement with EU, The Agreement of Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area and implementing the liberalization of visa regime in Schengen area for the owners of biometric passports. The author's opinion states that the topicality of this study lies in evaluation of the potential of Republic of Moldova to perceive the impact of this European initiative of foreign policy and to value the membershipwithin the Eastern Partnership for the perspective of integration in European Union.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.
