“…This article acknowledges the inherent challenges of studying the EU's public diplomacy, especially borrowing from concepts and theories that are, at times, quite state-centric (Fanoulis and Revelas, 2022). Although the complexity of the EU is an important aspect of its public diplomacyboth in terms of public diplomacy delivery but also its evolutionsuch theorising is beyond the scope of this article which, rather, adopts a pragmatic Assessing the EU's strategic narratives problem-driven approach to empirically investigate the EU's public diplomacy during times of crisis.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the EU's public diplomacy – towards both domestic and external audiences – during times of crisis. The EU's public diplomacy is examined across six major crises: the Eurozone crisis (2008), the Ukrainian crisis (2014), the migrant crisis (2015), the Brexit referendum (2016), the new transatlantic relationship (2017) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2019). The goal of examining these crises in conjunction is to derive policy-relevant insights.Design/methodology/approachThis article adopts a problem-driven approach – the problem being how successful is the EU at public diplomacy during times of crisis – that draws theoretical and empirical insights from Communication Studies, International Relations and EU studies via a “strategic narratives” framework. It situates the EU as a unique public diplomacy actor, one which is becoming more prominent due to the mediatisation of diplomacy, especially driven by the advent of cyberspace.FindingsThe article finds that the EU has been experiencing a cycle of crises that have affected the political, economic, symbolic and social foundations of the common project. The EU has had some notable success – such as restoring confidence at the height of the Eurozone crisis – and some notable challenges – such as effectively combatting disinformation. Regardless, the EU has the potential to better manage these and future crises by engaging in an effective public diplomacy strategy that tells a shared European story that informs and inspires people, both domestically and externally.Originality/valueThe article offers an original examination of the EU's public diplomacy response to six different crises. It looks at different types of crises and utilises concepts from different social science perspectives. It offers novel strategic and policy recommendations.

“…Some new officials promptly implement new economic policies after taking office in order to obtain more obvious results during the term of office. For example, new officials visit leading companies in their jurisdiction and pass on this idea imperceptibly (Fanoulis & Revelas, 2022). These companies actively cooperate with the needs of new officials, whether they are voluntary or with the purpose of building government-enterprise relations.…”

Political uncertainty has become an essential factor affecting the development of the substantial economy in recent years. It has also become a focal issue debated in the macroeconomic and microfinance circles. Apparently, in China, which is currently coexisting with transitioning and emerging markets, on the one hand, regular replacement of local government officials, the current administrative system coexists with an irregular replacement for various reasons. This paper empirically tests the influence of political uncertainty on the risk of stock price crashes based on the annual sample of 9,091 Chinese listed companies from 2007 to 2020. The empirical results suggest that corporate share price crash risk is lower when faced with political uncertainty. We further find that the inhibitory effect of political uncertainty on the risk of a stock price crash does not take effect until a new official takes office about a year or so. Moreover, officials who took office from a different place, especially new officials transferred by provincial departments, significantly reduce the risk of stock price crashes within their jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the abnormal departure of outgoing officials increases the risk of the stock prices crash of enterprises in their jurisdiction.
