The publications of the Ukrainian quality national socio-political newspapers “The Day” and “Dzerkalo Tyzhnya” for the period from 2013 till 2018 are analyzed. The main trends and peculiarities of the coverage of the European Integration Processes in Ukraine are outlined, their thematic areas and methods of the audience attention-focusing techniques are presented in the chronological order. Focusing on the specificity of the reader’s preferences in the analyzed newspapers, considering the peculiarities of the presentation of the material, the author’s preferences, the nuances of the editorial policy of each media, the monitoring of publications has been conducted over the five-year period, being based on the methods of the comparative and quantitative content analysis, which allowed for identification of certain trends and principles of the presentation of topics related to the European Integration processes of Ukraine. Thus, the change in the approaches to information and analytical support of the European Integration Processes depends on the socio-political situation. The fact that the content of the chosen quality media has been selected for the research is indicative hereof. The change in rhetoric, excessive emphasis on certain nuances, the selection of individual facts – all of these print and broadcasting media methods are permanent. The quality resources should avoid the application of such approaches. On the contrary, this study focuses on the significant drawbacks of the current media practice. The obtained results show that there is a further need in deep analysis of the current trends and situation, related to the information and analytical support of the European integration processes in Ukraine and the necessity for further search of the optimal approaches towards this thematic area.

“…The case study presented by Bosse (2017) on EU's arms-export policy towards Uzbekistan emphasises this correlation, especially when EU decided to remove the arms embargo in relation to EU's interest in diversifying future energy supplies in Central Asia. Similarly, empirical evidence presented by Burlyuk and Shapovalova (2017) highlights the internal discord among member-states vis-à-vis the conditionality attached to the conclusion of the Association Agreement with Ukraine. Furthermore, the contribution of Bocquillon and Maltby (2017) underlined both the conflicting preferences of member-states when it comes to energy and climate change policy, and the assertiveness of CEECs (e.g.…”

“…Although the EU seems to be willing to offer more "tangible rewards" via the ENP's Eastern dimension, the Eastern Partnership (EaP), financial support is limited or is not yet made available and the finality of it remains ambiguous (Casier 2011; Schmidtke and Chira-Pascanut 2011). Börzel and Lebanidze (2017) emphasise that the inconsistency of the EU in applying democratic conditionality has been the result of a stability-democratisation dilemma, whereas Burlyuk and Shapovalova (2017) argue that it depends on the conceptualisation of conditionality as a rationalist intergovernmental bargaining model or as a tool for societal mobilisation. As EU conditions became more politically charged, the interpretation of their precise content is inevitably contested.…”

Assessing the performance of the European Union in Central and Eastern Europe and in its neighbourhood

More than a decade after the big bang enlargement, it seems that the European Union (EU) and its Central and Eastern European member-states have mutually adapted to one another. The debates regarding the historical implications of enlargement have now reduced in tempo and much of Eastern Europe seems to be an integral part of the European integration project. After the accession of Bulgaria and Romania in 2007 (and Croatia in 2013), and in light of the EU's internal troubles, enlargement has been sidelined from the EU agenda. The issue of the EU's performance in the "wider Eastern Europe" remains poignant, not least because of current developments in its "neighbourhood" (such as the crisis in Ukraine or Moldova's downturn from success story to a captured state), the uneven pattern of reform across some of the recently admitted states (such as the turmoil in Hungary and Poland or the ongoing monitoring of Bulgaria and Romania in the area of rule of law), and the evident slow pace of progress and even back-sliding in parts of the Western Balkans (e.g. Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia). These cases, inter alia, illustrate that the EU's performance in the area is neither linear nor uncontested. Thus, questions regarding EU performance reoccur frequently and very often, its "transformative power" can be called into question. What determines EU performance in Central and Eastern Europe and in its Neighbourhood? What are the conditions that influence it? This collective inquiry addresses some of these questions. Much of the EU's own discourse puts emphasis on "performance" as a key driver of its policies and engagement with its partners (

“…Political discourse associated with visa liberalization has been addressed in research literature in linguistics and political discourse (Aydın-Düzgit 2016, Baysan 2013, Đurović-Silaški 2012, Happ-Bruns 2017, Jansen 2009, Kortenska et al 2016, Kostovicova 2014, Özdemir-Ayata 2017, Scott 2017, Vieira 2016. Previous studies indicate that the issue of visa liberalization with the EU has dominated political discourse in a number of European non-EU countries, for instance, in Serbia (Đurović-Silaški 2012, Jansen 2009, Kortenska et al 2016, Kostovicova 2014, Turkey (Aydın-Düzgit 2016, Batalla-Adam 2017, Baysan 2013, Tsarouhas 2018), and Ukraine (Burlyuk-Shapovalova 2017, Chaban et al 2017, Kleinschnitger-Knodt 2018, Scott 2017, Vieira 2016. In particular, the EU visa liberalization is thought to be "an example of EU conditionality that triggered rapid reforms in the Western Balkans and Serbia" (Kortenska et al 2016: 9).…”

“…Just like in Serbia and Turkey, political discourse in Ukraine regards the issue of visa-free travel to the EU as an effort aimed at integration, cooperation, and intensification of its relations with the EU (Happ-Bruns 2017: 97). In contrast to Serbia and Turkey, however, Ukraine's visa-free dialogue with the EU is marked by a complex background of its statehood building and the search for its identity as a sovereign state (Burlyuk-Shapovalova 2017, Kleinschnitger-Knodt 2018. In this regard, previous research is suggestive of the interrelatedness of the visa-free travel to the EU with other issues, in particular, with Ukraine's nation-building project that cannot be understood in isolation from the competing (supranational) geopolitical projects of the European Union and Eurasian Union, though.…”

This article presents a qualitative study aimed at investigating the framing of political discourse associated with the EU visa liberalization with Ukraine. This study seeks to address the framing of the EU visa liberalization process in Ukrainian political discourse published online by several leading high-quality Internet news resources, e.g. 112ua, Censor.Net, or UNIAN. The corpus of the study is comprised of 34 articles that have been analysed from the vantage point of framing methodology developed by Entman (2004) and Dahl (2015). The results of the qualitative investigation reveal that Ukrainian political discourse associated with the EU visa liberalization with Ukraine is framed by means of such frames as the Building, the Divorce, the European Integration, the Game, the Home, the Hostage, and the Journey. These findings are further presented and discussed in the article.
