The European Neighbourhood Policy
The European Neighbourhood Policy

Summary/Abstract: The EU has undergone and remains in the process of a revolution. The most important transformation of the geography and politics in Europe since the end of the Cold War has occurred successfully – enlargement to twenty-five member states. Enlargement is tied to a second major transformation associated with the prospect of a European Constitution. While changing the way the EU works internally, these twin processes, combined with other developments, augur also profound changes in the way the EU interacts with the world and especially its neighbours... The paper deals with such question as: What is at stake in the European Neighbourhood Policy? Why does it matter? What are the constraints on the ENP? Is the ENP a fitting response to these constraints and the issues at stake? Finally, which areas might be included in the Action Plans that may help offset the constraints under which the ENP is operating?
