The modern globalised world is characterised by economic independence, which is a component that measures the level of relations between countries, the content, direction and intensity of which has begun to be influenced by economic dependence. In other words, economic relations have become central to diplomatic activity, which determines the relevance of the subject matter. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of economic diplomacy in the system of modern international economic relations, to compare the theoretical model of economic diplomacy and the practice of its implementation. This paper uses the following methods: scientific abstraction; monographic, dialectical, historicallogical; structural-logical; abstract-logical; methods of regression analysis; synthesis; problem-oriented method; statistical and graphic methods. The author used a Scatter plot model and performed a regression analysis to determine which free trade area (Ukraine-EU, Ukraine-Canada, or Ukraine-Israel) affects Ukraine's GDP growth. The study model confirms the positive relationship between Ukraine's GDP growth and the growth of foreign trade turnover (FTT) between Ukraine and the EU. The linear model explains that a 1% increase in FTT affects an average 5% increase in Ukraine's GDP. At the same time, the regression model shows the opposite trend in terms of FTT between Ukraine and Canada, Ukraine and Israel. Thus, the dynamics of Ukraine's FTT with these countries does not have a significant impact on GDP. Only the growth of FTT between Ukraine and the EU indicates the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that the theoretical foundations, conclusions, and recommendations obtained and formulated by the author can serve as a basis for further study of issues of economic diplomacy and for the development of such a concept of economic diplomacy, which should take into account the positions of stakeholders to balance the interests of ensuring the national economic security of the state

Autobiographical Narrative

What kind of Europe the EU seeks to be, how it perceives itself and how it seeks to enact this Europe is a highly contentious issue and has powerful political stakes attached to its construction and realisation. This paper is specifically interested in how crises can constitute a compounded and expanded space for agency of political actors to forge identity narratives of the future. This paper draws on speeches by EC officials from 16 July 2019 to 7 July 2020, while coding along four analytical markers for crises as identified by Filip Ejdus (2020, p. 2, italics in original): “existence, finitude, relations and autobiography”. This article finds that while actors seek to create space for political agency by writing a moment of existential (external) crises to the EU’s project, they appear less equipped to use this moment politically. In this way, they co-construct a space potentially open to political creativity, but fail to fill this space with political creativity as to the future of the autobiographical narrative.

Significance The Commission aims to stimulate an economic field where the EU lags the United States. It estimates that a completed digital single market would boost EU GDP by around 3%. However, the project potentially challenges both national and sectoral preferences inside the EU, and the positions of major US internet firms. Impacts The Commission's plans are seen in the industry as deliberately undermining the business models of major US-based internet firms. Alongside separate EU actions on tax, anti-trust and data protection, they will aggravate a sensitive issue in EU-US economic diplomacy. This could damage the ongoing negotiations on the EU-US Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.

AbstractThe current special issue of The Hague Journal of Diplomacy is concerned with economic diplomacy. This article looks at the role that the European Union plays in economic diplomacy and shows that the EU’s role is essentially to facilitate, rather than to promote national companies as EU member state governments do. After discussing the various definitions of economic diplomacy, the article summarizes the areas in which the European Union constrains the scope for certain national policies of the EU member states. The article then discusses the factors that shape EU economic diplomacy and assesses the relative importance of these factors in specific negotiations.
