O knihe

This book contributes to the growing trend in International Relations that emphasizes the specific voices and agency of countries in the EU's and Russia's neighborhood, departing from the dominant Eurocentric and Russo-centric views on the region, by examining agency through the lens of liminality and its interplay with ontological (in)security. Focusing on the period from 2008 to early 2024, it explores how Armenia and Georgia use their liminal subjectivity in-between two competing regional cores as a resource for agency in the framework of their foreign policy. Quite strikingly, both countries have significantly reshuffled their liminality and related agency over the covered period. Relying on a poststructuralist approach to discourse analysis, the author delves into Armenia's and Georgia's evolving identity and foreign policy discourse, revealing how they (re-)articulate their role identity. She highlights how their agency produces both reproductive and subversive effects on the hegemonic structures, while creating divisive and connective representations of their regional environment.

Louise Amoris has completed a Ph.D. in political science at Ghent University, Sorbonne Nouvelle and UNU-CRIS, with expertise in international relations, area studies, and EU studies. Her research focuses on identity and foreign policy in Eastern European and South Caucasian states, emphasizing the need for greater recognition of agency within the EU’s and Russia’s shared neighborhood.
