The re-politicization of an EU–NATO-led European security order in the aftermath of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine
Abstract
This article interrogates the changing security order in Europe and the various dynamics prompted in EU–NATO member states in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. We look into how during the first years of the conflict mainstream and far-left/far-right political parties in Finland, France, Germany and Sweden came to de-politicize support for Ukraine and the EU–NATO as security providers. We also examine the effects of the changing US foreign and security policy at the hands of the second Donald Trump administration, there has been a distinct re-politicization of the same. Our findings point to that re-politicization has occurred both between European political parties as well as inside political parties.
