ABSTRACT
The Eastern Partnership is one of the tools of the European Union (EU) contributing to the reordering of European security. This article addresses the formative processes of the current European security order, focusing on the forms of capital being mobilised by the EU and Russia in the field of European security. Using post-structuralist perspectives in international politics, it argues that the EU’s promotion of depoliticised forms of politics aims at maintaining a hegemonic and hierarchical order, rather than partnerships and emancipatory forms of security. This is problematic, due to the subjectivities it creates and the lack of objective security provision.
