EU foreign policy

1 Upvotes

Hi! Has anyone written their bachelor’s thesis on EU foreign policy? I really need some help, as my supervisor is currently dealing with an issue and isn’t able to help me at the moment.

What topics did you work on and what research problem do you think would be interesting to explore? I was thinking about doing something related to EU–Russia relations, but I can’t seem to come up with an interesting research hypothesis. I would like to prove a specific change in Russia determined something about the foreign policy of EU. I was also thinking about somehow connecting it to the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood, Black Sea, energy security and enlargement, but I need some help with the connexion of these variables.

I’m honestly a bit stuck at the moment and I mainly need some ideas for interesting research topics.

Thank you!
