Abstract

Abstract Drawing on the case of Georgia, this article seeks to understand better how the EU’s partners adjust to the uncertainty of the EU’s offer as part of the Eastern Partnership, and how their identification narratives evolve in response to this indeterminacy. We use the concept of liminality to capture the imprecision of the EU’s offer and the state of in-betweenness of the EU’s associated partners. Through an analysis of Georgia’s identification practices, we then shed light on how Georgian elites have pushed for an identity-driven self-representation as a key political strategy vis-à-vis the EU. We argue that such repositioning and, more recently, the tactical use of the Association Trio reflect Georgia’s approach to developing its agency in response to uncertainty.

“三个人才能跳探戈”:格鲁吉亚在东方伙伴关系框架下的三边参与

本文以格鲁吉亚为例，试图更好地理解欧盟的合作伙伴如何适应欧盟作为东部伙伴关系的一部分所提供的不确定性，以及他们的身份叙事如何演变以应对这种不确定性。我们使用阈限概念来捕捉欧盟提议的不精确性和欧盟相关伙伴的中间状态。通过对格鲁吉亚身份认同实践的分析，我们揭示了格鲁吉亚精英如何推动身份驱动的自我代表作为对-à-vis欧盟的关键政治战略。我们认为，这种重新定位以及最近对协会三人组的战术使用反映了格鲁吉亚为应对不确定性而发展其机构的方法。

期刊介绍： Caucasus Survey is a new peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and independent journal, concerned with the study of the Caucasus – the independent republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, de facto entities in the area and the North Caucasian republics and regions of the Russian Federation. Also covered are issues relating to the Republic of Kalmykia, Crimea, the Cossacks, Nogays, and Caucasian diasporas. Caucasus Survey aims to advance an area studies tradition in the humanities and social sciences about and from the Caucasus, connecting this tradition with core disciplinary concerns in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, cultural and religious studies, economics, political geography and demography, security, war and peace studies, and social psychology. Research enhancing understanding of the region’s conflicts and relations between the Russian Federation and the Caucasus, internationally and domestically with regard to the North Caucasus, features high in our concerns.
