EU De-risking Policy Narrative Analysis, 2022–2024

2022–2024 analysis of how the European Union's 'de-risking' strategic narrative towards China became embedded in legal and policy texts. The dataset, a 22.9 KB DOCX file authored by Yang Li and licensed under CC-BY-4.0, was uploaded to figshare on 2026-05-20. It focuses on the Foreign Subsidies Regulation as a principal case, with auxiliary analysis of the Anti-Coercion Instrument and Critical Raw Materials Act.

• Studying the constraints on counter-narratives based on the described factors of normative misalignment and procedural translatability.
• Examining member-state influence on EU policy convergence based on the described heterogeneity in scope and intensity of institutional embedding.

Strengths

• Clear temporal coverage from 2022 to 2024.
• Specific focus on three key EU policy instruments: the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, Anti-Coercion Instrument, and Critical Raw Materials Act.
