EU External Economic Policy: Measures and Impacts on Member States' Resilience

The research focuses on an in-depth analysis of the European Union's external economic policy, emphasizing its impact on the economic resilience of member states. The project examines the evolution of the EU's common trade policy, including its tools, mechanisms, and principles. Special attention is given to the challenges of globalization, digitalization, and changes in the global economy, which shape the current context of the Union's activities.

The key research problem is evaluating the effectiveness of the EU's economic strategy in ensuring long-term competitiveness and sustainable development. The project also explores the adaptability of the trade policy to rapid changes in global conditions, highlighting the European Union's role as a leader in the global economy.

Furthermore, the research delves into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the EU's external economic policy. In this context, the Union's response measures are reviewed, including the revision of trade strategies aimed at creating "open strategic autonomy." This encompasses analyzing the effectiveness of support mechanisms for exporters by EU member states, such as export credit insurance and direct grants, which proved essential for maintaining economic stability during the pandemic.

This research is part of the EU Economic Resilience Policy Jean Monnet project, funded by the European Union. It has been conducted over a three-year period, from October 2022 to September 2025, focusing on advancing the understanding of economic resilience mechanisms in the context of European integration and global challenges.
