El investigador predoctoral del IBEI Adrià Rivera recibe el Premio Manuel Castillo 2021
IBEI's pre-doctoral fellow Adrià Rivera Escartin has won the Manuel Castillo Award 2021, organized by the Universitat de València.
Adrià Rivera Escartin has been awarded within the category Published research university monograph, for his scientific article Populist challenges to EU foreign policy in the Southern Neighbourhood: an informal and illiberal Europeanisation?, published in the Journal of European Public Policy.
Congratulations, Adrià!
In the winning paper, Adrià examines the implications of Italian and Hungarian populist pressure on the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in third country contexts, using Tunisia and Egypt as in-depth case studies. The article also aims to contribute conceptually to current debates on the de-Europeanisation -or not- of EU foreign policy. The two cases illustrate how, under the influence of member states with populist radical right parties (PRRPs) in government, informal and illiberal Europeanisation is not a contradiction in terms but a real possibility.
