The Russian invasion of Ukraine has reshaped European politics, prompting the European Union (EU) to take indirect actions such as aiding Ukraine, accepting refugees, and imposing sanctions on Russia. This special section explores the implications of these events on European unity. Will the war highlight divisions among countries and ideological groups, as "post-functionalists" would predict? Or will the external threat, in line with the "bellicist logic," and EU solidarity, in line with the "polity formation" literature, foster increased EU policy coordination and centralization? The contributions assess the war's impact on the supply (political parties) and demand (public opinion) sides of the politics of European integration. The articles show moderate support for the "bellicist" mechanisms of threat and consensus. They also find solidarity and unity for refugee and energy policy, with greater ideological and country divisions over economic policy, defence policy, and appeasement strategies toward Russia.
俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵重塑了欧洲政治，促使欧盟采取诸如援助乌克兰、接纳难民以及对俄罗斯实施制裁等间接行动。本专题探讨了这些事件对欧洲一体化的影响。这场战争会像 “后功能主义者” 所预测的那样凸显国家间和意识形态群体间的分歧吗？还是会如 “战争主义逻辑” 所认为的外部威胁以及 “政体形成” 文献中所提到的欧盟团结，促进欧盟政策协调与集权化的增强？这些文章评估了战争对欧洲一体化政治的供给（政党）和需求（公众舆论）方面的影响。文章对威胁和共识的 “战争主义” 机制表现出适度支持。他们还发现，在难民和能源政策上存在团结与统一，但在经济政策、国防政策以及对俄罗斯的绥靖战略上，意识形态和国家间的分歧更大。
