  • Coercive diplomacy in the case of Ukraine [Elektronski vir]
    Romanenko, Anastasiia
    In 2014, there was a general lack of willingness to confront Russia, with many European leaders downplaying the escalating presence of the Russian military near the Ukrainian borders. This essay ... explores Europe's inadequate response to the Russian threat by examining the concept of coercive diplomacy, as defined by Alexander George in 1991. Specifically, the paper aims to identify the factors that hindered Europe from effectively utilizing coercive diplomacy to deter Russia's full-scale invasion and suggests potential solutions. Qualitative research methods, including a literature review of scholarly works, policy documents, and expert opinions, are employed. The findings reveal that Europe's lack of coherence among member states and divergent political viewpoints hindered the execution of a comprehensive strategy. Additionally, Europe's reluctance to sever economic ties with Russia and its gradual return to normalcy after imposing sanctions weakened the credibility of its coercive measures. The European Union’s (EU) preference for diplomatic talks, which Russia perceived as a sign of weakness, failed to create a sense of urgency or convey the potential consequences of noncompliance. To improve the effectiveness of coercive diplomacy, Europe must develop a more cohesive strategy that includes clear demands, deadlines, and conditionality. This approach should incorporate both punitive measures and concessions to incentivize compliance. To enhance its deterrence capabilities and reduce dependence on external actors, Europe should strive for greater military autonomy. Addressing these factors will contribute to stronger and more effective employment of coercive diplomacy in future crises.
