About
My research project
The Gender Dimension of the European Union Foreign and Security Policy in fragile countriesMy thesis examines if and how the European Union is integrating gender issues and thus promoting values of gender equality in its foreign policy and security work in fragile countries.
The literature review covers gender issues and the European Union, including critical feminists studies on European Union and gender policies in internal policies, as well as in fragile and selected countries.
My research project seeks to analyse two case studies, Ukraine and Lebanon where the EU operates to assess how priorities are established and negotiated and how (approaches, actors, policies) gender issues are included or not into foreign policies work.
