War as a Solution? Scenarios and Implications of Russo-Ukrainian war in Ukraine for the EU Eastern Neighborhood and Policy.
Keynote: Balázs Jarábik
Comment: Piotr Buras, Wojciech Przybylski
Moderator: Bernd Marin

The research focuses on the background (internal and external fac- tors) of Russia’s devastating war in Ukraine, the scenarios how the war can work out, as well as the impact on the EU Eastern Neighborhood. The key implication is that the EU faces a breaking point in terms of a divided (geographic) Europe. The war literally broke the neighborhood, hence the Eastern Partnership policy as well. Due to its remarkable re- silience Ukraine has a chance of emerging as a winner from the war, but its destruction seems also inevitable (as symbolized by the Khakovka dam). In the current framework, Brussels needs both a sober reflec- tion and smart planning to bridge the difference between symbolic and tangible steps of integration.

At the Europe's Futures Annual Symposium 2023, the fifth cohort of Europe’s Futures Fellows presented the conclusions of their research in the academic year 2022/23. The findings were discussed with the Europe’s Futures Alumni Network and researchers from the University of Rijeka Center for Advanced Studies Southeast Europe.

Europe’s Futures is IWM’s strategic partnership initiative with the ERSTE Foundation aiming to understand and address challenges posed to Europe and the European Union by the eroding of democracy, rule of law deficiencies, migratory pressures or climate change.

In cooperation with University of Rijeka Center for Advanced Studies Southeast Europe (UNIRI CAS SEE).
