European Neighborhood Policy and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership

Summary/Abstract: Liberal democratic states have succeeded in building security and stability at regional level through partnership and cooperation. The security communities set up with organizations such as NATO or more recently the EU, while remaining two different institutions, have promoted special relationships with countries situated in the immediate vicinity of their boundaries so as to enhance trust and intensify interdependencies amongst them. This has been both a prerequisite for preserving security at the borders and projecting a soft power of engaging other nations in mutual cooperation and common projects.
