Whereas the Eastern Partnership (EaP) hammered out association agreements and a visa free travel accord with Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine in recent years, stability, security, and prosperity in the region are a long way away even after the latest EaP summit on November 24. The EU’s credibility crisis, its ongoing conflict with Russia over Ukraine, and the slow progress of reforms in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine are widening the gap between the EU and the EaP. Against this background, the DGAP panel discusses Eastern Voices, a book newly published by the DGAP Robert Bosch Center and the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins SAIS. The publication was supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation.
