“…The EU is concerned with self-promotion and reception, and through its official representations across Central Asia and its support to multiple societal actors and projects, it seeks to advance awareness of itself. Yet, those mismatches, and divergent perceptions of the reasons underlying the EU's engagement in Central Asia continue to proliferate (recently, see Arynov 2022aArynov , 2022bArynov , 2022c. Understanding how the EU understands and learns about regions with which it engages is a fundamental need for both policy and scholarship, as it offers new insights about the EU itself (Korneev and Kluczewska 2022).…”

By shifting the study of European Union (EU)-Central Asian relations from its fixed category of black-boxing both the EU and Central Asia, this article advances the case for the approach of examining multi-level and multi-actor interactions that identify the dynamic processes of reciprocal action and meaning-making that characterize the mutual cooperation. It distinguishes perceptions, interests and practices, pointing to the rationales and modes of behaviour of multiple EU and Central Asian actors. The article also advances five reasons why EU studies should take more interest in Central Asia, given that the EU's larger external relations and security agenda extends to this region. Similarly, it shows that Central Asian studies can benefit from the analysis of the region's interactions with external actors, including the EU, given that external actors contribute to reshaping national policy agendas and influence everyday life.

“…Most studies have focused on elites (e.g. Arynov, 2022;Bengtsson and Elgström, 2012;Chaban et al, 2013;Chaban and Kelly, 2017), while a few have explored external perceptions of the EU beyond elites and looked at the general public (Chaban et al, 2015(Chaban et al, , 2021Chaban and Holland, 2019;Isani and Schlipphak, 2017). Public opinions about the EU have become more important as the EU has developed the means and tools for public diplomacy (Speyer et al, 2021).…”

This article examines the role of norms and culture in perceptions of the European Union. Conceptually, it offers a distinction between the image of the European Union as a normative actor and attitudes toward one's country's relations with the European Union. It also explores whether the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), a cultural event which symbolizes the cultural understanding of contemporary Europe, is related to perceptions of the European Union. Empirically, it uses a public opinion survey ( n = 1050) following Israel's hosting of the ESC in 2019. The findings indicate that Israelis distinguish between the image of the European Union as an entity with positive features and their attitudes toward Israel's connections with the European Union.
