Abstract

The European Union (EU) has been more incensed over Russian aggression towards Ukraine in 2022, when compared to Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014. This article questions this shift by looking at the EU's sanctions towards Russia. It argues that the relative unwillingness of the European Commission, and accordingly the imbalance or lopsided distribution of power within and amongst the relevant EU institutions, was one of the factors internal to the EU that prevented an effective response in 2014. Although external and contextual factors have been crucial, the EU has adopted harsher sanctions against Russia since 2022 because the Commission is not unwilling to act as it was in 2014, and dissenting members have found it difficult to obstruct the process in the Council of the EU. This article also extends the analytical repertoire of the bureaucratic politics model by demonstrating that it retains explanatory power even when the traditional parameters remain constant over time.

欧盟在 2014 年和 2022 年对俄罗斯的自主制裁:官僚政治模式如何在欧盟内部实现制度性 "权力平衡"?
与俄罗斯在 2014 年入侵克里米亚相比,欧盟(EU)在 2022 年对俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的反应更为激烈。本文通过审视欧盟对俄罗斯的制裁,对这一转变提出质疑。文章认为,欧盟委员会的相对不情愿,以及相应的欧盟相关机构内部和之间权力分配的不平衡或失衡,是阻碍欧盟在2014年做出有效反应的内部因素之一。尽管外部和背景因素至关重要,但欧盟自 2022 年以来对俄罗斯采取了更严厉的制裁措施,因为欧盟委员会并非像 2014 年那样不愿采取行动,持不同意见的成员也发现很难在欧盟理事会中阻挠这一进程。本文还扩展了官僚政治模型的分析范围,证明即使传统参数随时间保持不变,该模型仍具有解释力。
