Předběžná náplň práce

Tento výzkum analyzuje, jak australská elita vnímá EU po odchodu Spojeného království. Tento výzkum využívá dvoustupňový metodický přístup k tomu, aby zjistil, jaké je vnímání australské elity EU od referenda o brexitu v červnu 2016. Mezi metody patří kritická obsahová analýza výstupů australských think tanků a polostrukturované rozhovory s australskými elitní osobnosti identifikované jako osoby s rozsáhlými znalostmi EU. Výzkum testuje představu ústředního postavení Spojeného království se vztahy Austrálie a EU. Výzkum také analyzuje posuny nebo nedostatek ve vnímání strategické síly EU, vnitřního stavu, vyjednávací síly, ekonomické zdatnosti, normativní síly a budoucích vztahů mezi Austrálií a EU.

This research analyses how the Australian elite perceive the EU following the UK’s departure. This research utilises a two-tiered methodological approach in order to ascertain what the Australian elite perception of the EU is since the Brexit referendum in June 2016. The methods include a critical content analysis of Australian think tank outputs, and semi-structured interviews with Australian elite figures identified as having extensive knowledge of the EU. The research tests the notion of the UK’s centrality to Australia-EU relations. The research also analyses the shifts or lack thereof in perceptions of the EU’s strategic power, internal condition, negotiating power, economic prowess, normative power, and future Australia-EU relations.
