An Economic Outlook of the EaP Countries in the Context of Covid Experience
摘要
The Covid outbreak changed not only the natural course of things in the entire EU, but also harmed the rhythm of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries of following the European path they were engaged with, raising questions concerning the viability of the partnership itself. The chapter aims to provide an in-depth analysis of how Covid pandemic affected economically and socially the EaP states, highlighting the existing internal fragilities exacerbated in such inauspicious context and the mechanisms by which EU addressed it properly. The analysis will serve as a frame of reference for recovery and reconfiguration of a healthier and renew EaP version in which the propensity of following the Western path will be deeply assumed by those countries that are aspiring to an European future.
