dc.description.abstractSince Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, EU enlargement has gained more attention in the European Parliament (EP). To explore the change in rhetoric, the study identifies and compares EU enlargement discourses during two plenary session debates on EU enlargement in 2020 and 2024, differentiating them into normative, pragmatic, institutional and geopolitical. In theoretical terms, the study relies on discursive institutionalism which underscores actors’ agency in driving institutional change. Methodologically, it is based on qualitative frame analysis. Our results demonstrate an increased salience of institutional and geopolitical discourses, specifically, the EU’s integration capacity, the institutional reform of the EU and security of the European continent in light of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Overall, the study underscores the European Parliament’s evolving role in the EU enlargement process.en_US
