EASTERN PARTNERSHIP LACKS COLLECTIVE APPROACH TO SECURITY
EASTERN PARTNERSHIP LACKS COLLECTIVE APPROACH TO SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: External sources and forces that pose threats to the security of the Eastern Partnership(EaP) nations are disproportionately bigger than the power of an individual EaP nation in many regards.And they often face similar challenges and common threats to their security particularly through the violent conflicts. However, they respond individually hence making the results ineffective. This makes the EaP even more prone to security threats. Therefore, a security strategy for the EaP must accommodate a collective approach to challenges and threats. Considering existing discords between the EaP nations themselves, this may be troubled. In that case, bilateral, trilateral or multilateral partnerships must be encouraged for common stance and collective approach in dealing with threats and challenges. And the EU’s role should be facilitation of that process.
