欧盟的多重危机通常会影响欧盟的外部形象，尤其是乌克兰。我们的文章提出，这些危机是否只是短暂的时间跨度变化，对欧盟在乌克兰的长期看法影响有限。为了回答这个问题，我们的文章转向了空间和历史距离的概念（Braudel 1982, Didelon-Loiseau and Grasland 2014），并论证了乌克兰欧盟形象背后的两组相互作用的因素——空间（地点、地区、欧盟特定和全球）和时间（短期、中期和长期）。根据欧盟感知的权力、机会和规范形象，假设欧盟形象在独立广场后的乌克兰的演变，我们的分析通过考察独立广场前后的乌克兰公众舆论，并在政治连续体中追踪欧盟在有影响力的媒体中的框架，来检验其假设。我们的研究结果展示了欧盟外部形象的关系性质，并建议在与乌克兰的对话中微调欧盟的运营和规划级别工具。
Multiple crises in the EU are assumed to impact EU external images in general, and in Ukraine specifically. Our article asks if these crises are only short time-span variations with limited implications for longer term EU perceptions in Ukraine. To answer this question, our article turns to the concepts of spatial and historical distances (Braudel 1982, Didelon-Loiseau and Grasland 2014) and argues two interacting sets of factors behind EU images in Ukraine – spatial (location-, region-, EU-specific and global) and temporal (short-, mediumand long-term). Hypothesizing evolutions of EU images in post-Maidan Ukraine in terms of the EU’s perceived power, opportunities and normative profile, our analysis tests its hypotheses by examining Ukrainian public opinion pre- and post-Maidan and tracing EU framing in influential press across the political continuum. Our results demonstrate the relational nature of EU external images and suggest avenues to fine-tune the EU’s operational and programming level tools in its dialogue with Ukraine.
