The paramount objective of this research project is to perform a comprehensive Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) of the foreign policy choices in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova vis-à-vis the EU. Hence, the project focuses on those countries, which have signed an Association Agreement with the EU, despite pressure from Russia, and are to be regarded as frontrunners among the six Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries. However, approximation to EU legal standards demonstrates a high degree of variance throughout various phases of EaP implementation in these three countries, which will be explained in a comprehensive analysis of domestic preference building. The innovative contribution of this project consists in, first, (partly) filling the research gap of theory based and methodologically sound FPA on post-Soviet states. Second, in adapting suitable FPA approaches (principally the Two-Level-Game approach), which had previously been applied to consolidated democracies, to the analysis of non-consolidated democratic or hybrid regimes, thus advancing FPA on such regime types. Third, in expanding the scope of EaP country studies by undertaking a substantial analysis of domestic preference building in the three countries foreign policies, instead of focusing solely on the EUs policies vis-à-vis these states.

该研究项目的首要目标是执行乌克兰，格鲁吉亚和摩尔多瓦的外交政策选择的全面外交政策分析（FPA）维斯维斯欧盟。因此，该项目的重点是那些不顾俄罗斯的压力与欧盟签署了《结盟协定》的国家，这些国家将被视为东部伙伴关系（EaP）六国中的领跑者。然而，在这三个国家实施EaP的各个阶段，与欧盟法律的标准的接近程度表现出高度的差异，这将在对国内优惠建设的全面分析中得到解释。该项目的创新性贡献在于，首先，（部分）填补了后苏联国家的理论基础和方法健全的FPA的研究空白。第二，在调整合适的FPA方法（主要是两级博弈方法），这是以前被应用到巩固的民主国家，非巩固的民主或混合政权的分析，从而推进FPA对这些政权类型。第三，通过对这三个国家的外交政策中的国内优惠建立进行实质性分析，而不是仅仅关注欧盟维斯这些国家的政策，扩大了EaP国家研究的范围。
