This thematic cluster provides an interdisciplinary snapshot of these transformations, emphasizing the region’s role as both a frontline and a catalyst for broader European change. Drawing on international relations, security studies, economics, political science, sociology, and anthropology, the contributions examine how the war has accelerated European Union security integration, including unprecedented military assistance to Ukraine, expanded defense coordination, and rising defense expenditures. The introduction highlights the war’s devastating human, economic, and environmental costs for Ukraine, alongside spillover effects across Europe, such as mass displacement, energy shocks, inflationary pressures, and heightened social and political tensions within CEE states. It situates these developments within contemporary scholarly debates over international order, realism and liberalism, and the limits of aggregated European analyses that obscure regional variation. Collectively, the articles explore geopolitical repositioning, energy transformation, public opinion, and lived experiences of war and displacement, offering insight into Europe’s evolving political and institutional trajectory amid an ongoing conflict.","PeriodicalId":47086,"journal":{"name":"East European Politics and Societies","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146196445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) framework on sociotechnical transitions, the research investigates how macro-level disruptions, meso-level regime adaptations, and micro-level innovations interact to reshape energy systems. The study focuses on public attitudes toward reducing dependency on Russian energy and investing in renewables, contextualized through the Eurobarometer survey data (Wave 98.2, 2023). Bayesian multilevel logistic regressions were applied to evaluate the relationships between perceptions of war-related consequences (security, economic impacts) and attitudes toward energy policies. Findings reveal strong public support in Poland and Hungary for reducing reliance on Russian hydrocarbons and adopting renewable energy, while Czechia and Slovakia show moderate support. Security concerns were identified as a key driver of pro-renewable sentiments, particularly among younger cohorts and those perceiving war-related threats. The study highlights how geopolitical shocks can catalyze energy policy shifts, though entrenched sociotechnical regimes present challenges. Practical implications include leveraging public support for renewables to accelerate European Union (EU) energy transition goals. This research contributes novel insights into the interplay between energy transformation and geopolitical crises, emphasizing the V4’s pivotal role in Europe’s green transition.","PeriodicalId":47086,"journal":{"name":"East European Politics and Societies","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145908095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Now, having revisited their aggressive policies of the past, Russia’s actions have detrimental effects on the region not only through active warfare in Ukraine but also due to propaganda and disinformation campaigns in many EU states, as well as energy blackmail. The EU as a whole has also been deeply affected by the war in Ukraine. There was talk of a “paradigm shift” in France, of a “Zeitenwende” (end of an era) in Germany, of an “end to naivety.” The EU has not only emerged from its soft policy in the face of the Russian regime’s policies but also matured in its geopolitical awareness. The war in Ukraine has hit a trajectory that was already favorable to the EU’s geopolitical consolidation. Since 2014, European defense has been revived, at least in terms of capabilities, with joint funding for military research projects and the joint development of defense capabilities (in particular, the European Defense Fund with eight billion euro for 2021–2027). Undoubtedly, resolving the conflict is up to the Ukrainians and the Russians. Still, the process will directly or indirectly involve all actors interested in a global order. The axis of geopolitical world reconstruction is particularly important for Ukraine but is also vital for the future of the EU, CEE, and Poland. Therefore, it must be assumed that the EU’s approach and capabilities must be prepared diplomatically and militarily to respond to any potential future threats to maintain stability and peace in the region.","PeriodicalId":47086,"journal":{"name":"East European Politics and Societies","volume":"338 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145920171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It traces the ways in which creativity discourses were mobilized in the Polish “long ‘90s to reinforce the gendered division of labor. The transformation of labor in the industry is discussed against the backdrop of privatizations, managerial turn, denying particularly “unskilled workers” (women and peasants) creativity, policies of “cuts,” and deindustrialization. Identical processes also profoundly transformed reproduction, as its feminization in the ‘90s is characterized by the ultimate desubjectification, privatization, and devaluation of reproductive labor. This was achieved by liquidating common spaces of everyday creativity available to working-class women and by discursive reconstruction of reproduction as utterly uncreative. Drawing on these considerations, the article explains the mutual interdependence of the two figures populating the gendered and class-based imaginarium of the Polish “long ‘90s”—the “domestic hen,” and the “young wolf.” Masculinization of creativity, manifesting itself in the figure of competitive, creative, risk-taking entrepreneurs, was characteristic of a new, highly hierarchical and exclusionary model of creativity, which emerged during the formation of new upper classes. Consequently, the feminization of what was constructed as a “lack of creativity” should be understood as related to the dispossessions of the many (unequal along the lines of gender divisions), which created conditions for the enfranchisement of the few.","PeriodicalId":47086,"journal":{"name":"East European Politics and Societies","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145812763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of this food is ultimately sold, gifted, bartered, or paid in kind in a rural economy where labor is skilled and people have some means to produce, but cash is rare. Amid state failures to provide work and safety nets, garden networks of exchange, debt, and caregiving revive and transform the remains of Yugoslav village sociality in the 2020s. Yet in cash-poor and labor-squeezed rural communities, maintaining the ecological diversity of these montane environments presents a paradox: while providing nourishing and socially desired foods, these gardens cannot offer a desirable future to families who abandon homes to outmigration and work abroad. Food self-provisioning in northern Bosnia lays bare the aftermath of social and economic violence for environmental stewardship and rural belonging: while providing an important source of food security and sustaining networks of labor and exchange, Bosnian gardens are also a reverberation of profound socioeconomic gaps and unmet aspirations for economic growth. Even as they provide the physical means for social reproduction through food that is both culturally and culinarily nourishing, these gardens also represent deep ambiguities about rural futures in a mountainous region with high biodiversity, uncertain formal economies, and a desire to maintain a sense of home despite outmigration. Recognizing these tensions across gender, generation, and class demands a vision of agricultural sustainability centered around farmer labor, knowledge, and valuation.","PeriodicalId":47086,"journal":{"name":"East European Politics and Societies","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145812765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Jadar Project was set to become one of the first and the biggest lithium mines in Europe, a metallic element widely understood as crucial to the so-called green transition. However, the mining plans attracted widespread resistance, led by the local community of the Jadar Valley, many of whom are farmers and agricultural workers. The government was ultimately forced to cancel the project in January 2022 following months of protests, yet the cancellation was nullified two and a half years later. Based on a close ethnographic engagement with the affected communities and their allies, I describe the local relationships with the soil, land, history, and memory and their reverberation and remobilization. What emerges is a particular sense of peripheralization and Balkanization, of being designated a colony or a sacrifice zone, a forgotten corner of Europe where lithium mining is to take place. Crucially, however, as this article shows, what also becomes possible is the formation of solidarities across the Global North and the Global South based on common struggles and shared experiences of attachment to the land. This article thus focuses on the forms of attachments that lay behind mass resistance, becoming a fundamental challenge to the logic of green extractivism.","PeriodicalId":47086,"journal":{"name":"East European Politics and Societies","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145812766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The environmental and economic transformations driven by European Union integration have placed Pljevlja at the center of both ecological degradation and political struggles. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines political anthropology, mining studies, and legal analysis, the study examines the rise of “econativism,” where environmental and nationalist discourses merge to form powerful local movements. Through ethnographic research conducted in two phases between 2015 and 2023, the article highlights how environmental issues, especially air pollution, are intertwined with identity politics, ethnic clientelism, and shifting political dynamics. The findings reveal that opposition parties successfully used environmental concerns in the lead-up to Montenegro’s 2020 political changes, only for environmental activism to decline after their ascent to power. The case study of Pljevlja offers critical insights into the potential and limitations of econativism as a political force, emphasizing that identity-driven narratives can co-opt ecological activism which dissipates when political goals are achieved.","PeriodicalId":47086,"journal":{"name":"East European Politics and Societies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145812767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
