The European Political Community: A Polish perspective

Europejska Wspólnota Polityczna: polska perspektywa

Abstrakt: Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza narodzin i ewolucji Europejskiej Wspólnoty Politycznej – paneuropejskiego formatu wielostronnej koordynacji, powstałego z inicjatywy Francji i w reakcji na pełnoskalową agresję militarną Rosji na Ukrainę. Badanie oparto na oficjalnych wystąpieniach, materiałach ośrodków analitycznych oraz obserwacji uczestniczącej Autorki, przeprowadzonej podczas międzynarodowych spotkań eksperckich w pierwszych miesiącach 2023 roku. W tekście dowodzi się, że EWP pozostaje „ruchomym celem” na wczesnym etapie rozwoju, gdzie zarówno cele, jak i struktura nie zostały jeszcze dookreślone. Z polskiej perspektywy, inicjatywa umożliwiła wysłanie kluczowego sygnału strategicznego pod adresem Rosji oraz może stanowić narzędzie ponownego zaangażowania Wielkiej Brytanii czy Turcji. Nie powinna być jednak wykorzystywana jako poczekalnia dla kandydatów do członkostwa w UE, na wzór Europejskiej Polityki Sąsiedztwa.
