Contestation of EU Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy by Magdalena Góra,Natasza Styczynska,Marcin Zubek Pdf

This book investigates the domestic sources of two components of the EU Foreign Policy directed toward its closest neighbourhood: the EU Enlargement and the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). The book employs various methodologies and approaches to uncover the main actors, arguments and arenas that are engaged in the processes of contestation, legitimization and politicisation of the EU’s relations with its neighbours. In doing so, it highlights how these policies are contested by civil society, political parties and in parliamentary debates at the EU level and in member states. By implication, this volume encourages a debate on if, and how, democratic principles can operate within the EU Foreign Policy realm, and also on the effects of citizens’ involvement in the external relations domain.

The Boundaries of EU Enlargement by J. DeBardeleben Pdf

The 2004 and 2007 enlargements pushed the EU's external border further east as well as closer to unstable areas in the western Balkans. With future enlargements unlikely in the short-term, the EU faces new challenges in securing stable relationships with these neighbouring countries, while not fostering false hopes of early accession.

European Neighbourhood Policy by Johannes Varwick,Kai Olaf Lang Pdf

The enlarged European Union needs new instruments for exporting stability and change into the fragile regions and countries beyond its borders. That is why the EU is developing and implementing the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP): a strategic concept which is to enhance the Union’s capability to be a driver of reform – without automatically promising the “golden carrot” of membership to the neighbours. This book provides the reader with information on what ENP wants, how it works and what the prospects of the Union’s cooperation with neighbouring countries are.

Enlarged EU - Enlarged Neigbourhood by Nicolas Hayoz,Leszek Jesień,Wim Meurs (van) Pdf

Since May 2004 the European Union borders countries that have not yet accomplished their transformation process or are still struggling for stability. These countries are now the neighbours of the European Union, but are they also candidates for accession? The European Neighbourhood policy is a policy that explicitly excludes the possibility of accession. However, possible future membership is the strongest implicit argument for pushing the new neighbours towards reform. How does the European Union deal with its new neighbours and how do they deal with the European Union? What plans and programs of cooperation exist? What prospects and risks does the new neighbourhood imply? Are there further attempts of cooperation and European integration besides these at the EU-level? The authors try to answer these questions by providing a critical perspective of the EU policy, regional overviews, and country reports from Eastern and South Eastern Europe.

European Neighbourhood Policy by Bettina Bruns,Dorit Happ,Helga Zichner Pdf

This book assesses the instruments and measures geared towards determining the EU's relations with it's neighbours. These are channelled on the one hand by the enlargement policy focusing on the Western Balkans and on the other hand by the neighbourhood policy which will enable the integration of Central and Eastern European neighbouring countries without offering membership. Both of these policies have strong local and regional effects in the EU's neighbouring countries. However, little attention has been paid to the perceptions of and impact of these policies in the neighbouring countries themselves. By presenting theoretical contributions and empirical case studies drawing on qualitative and ethnographic fieldwork, this book provides new insights that will be of great interest for students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of Geography, Sociology, Political Science and European Studies.

The European Neighbourhood Policy in Perspective by R. Whitman,Stefan Wolff Pdf

In implementing the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) the European Union offers a deeper political and economic relationship to its neighbours---but without a promise of EU membership. The ENP is intended to be a strategic approach to the post-enlargement situation which redraws boundaries between the EU ̀insiders' and the ̀outsiders' on the EU's borders. --

Elargissement et politique européenne de voisinage by Gilles Rouet,Peter Terem Pdf

Les derniers élargissements sont globalement considérés comme un succès, et bénéficient aux nouveaux comme aux anciens Etats-membres, ce qui est rassurant pour les éventuels prochains élargissements. Pour autant, l'Union a besoin de fonctionner efficacement et d'être légitimée par ses citoyens. Le paradoxe est manifeste : les élargissements seraient bénéfiques alors que l'Union resterait insaisissable, bureaucratique, éloignée des citoyens, voire rejetée. De plus, le renforcement de ta cohésion sociale et de la responsabilité démocratique est également nécessaire pour augmenter l'efficacité communautaire: la problématique dépasse ainsi largement la légitimation citoyenne. Cet enjeu concerne évidemment la capacité d'intégration future de l'UE mais aussi la Politique de Voisinage car il s'agit bien de ta mise en place, avec te concours des Etats frontaliers, d'une "zone " de voisinage au fonctionnement démocratique compatible et organisé dans le cadre d'Etats de droit et dans le respect des droits de l'homme. La liaison entre les élargissements et la politique de voisinage dépasse cependant ce seul aspect politique, de fait assez abstrait: la PEV évolue en fonction des élargissements qui modifient les frontières. délimitent te voisinage et, en conséquence, déterminent le contenu même de la PEV. La relance du processus de Barcelone (pour les frontières maritimes) comme la mise en place d'une coopération régionale dans la région de la Mer Noire (pour les frontières terrestres) illustrent cette détermination. Néanmoins, la PEV ne fonctionne pas seulement par rapport aux conséquences des élargissements, aux volontés politiques de l'UE ou à la pertinence et à l'efficacité des instruments proposés mais repose avant tout sur une logique de coopération et, donc, s'appuie sur l'histoire même des relations entre Etats de l'UE et Etats du voisinage, l'interlocuteur étant désormais l'UE elle-même. Globalement, les voisins de l'UE, tels que définis par ta PEV sont non seulement situés en "périphérie" de l'Union mais ont également au moins trois autres caractéristiques: ils ont des progrès à faire en matière de droits de l'Homme, ils sont volontaires pour coopérer avec l'Union dans le cadre d'une "relation asymétrique" avec elle (ce qui explique te caractère particulier des relations UE-Russie) et ils n'ont pas, à moyen terme, vocation à adhérer à l'UE. La PEV est ambivalente: à la fois élargissement sans les institutions communautaires et instrument politique d'une Union européenne qui en-tend affirmer sa puissance. Les contributions proposées dans cet ouvrage déclinent explicitement la liaison entre élargissement et PEV et implicitement, souvent, cette ambivalence, dans le cadre d'une confrontation d'universitaires issus d'une dizaine de pays. membres "anciens" ou "nouveaux" de l'UE. "voisins" ou candidats à l'adhésion. Il s'agit d'articuler, parfois dans le détail, logiques d'élargissement et de voisinages avec une tonalité particulière largement déterminée par un centre de gravité originalement situé à l'Est de l'UE, sur une de ses frontières.

Resisting Europe by Raffaella Del Sarto,Simone Tholens Pdf

Resisting Europe conceptualizes the foreign policies of Europe—defined as the European Union and its member states—toward the states in its immediate southern “neighborhood” as semi-imperial attempts to turn these states into Europe’s southern buffer zone, or borderlands. In these hybrid spaces, different types of rules and practices coexist and overlap, and negotiations over meaning and implementation take place. This book examines the diverse modalities by which states in the Mediterranean Middle East and North Africa (MENA) reject, resist, challenge, modify, or entirely change European policies and preferences and provides rich empirical evidence of these contestation practices in the fields of migration and border control, banking and finance, democracy promotion, and telecommunications. It addresses the complex question of when and how MENA states capitalize on their leverage and interdependence in their relationships with Europe and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of Europe–Middle East relations, while engaging with broader debates on power and interdependence, order, and contestation in international relations. While a contribution on the practices of resistance and contestation of MENA states vis-à-vis European policies and preferences in this geopolitically significant region was overdue, this volume leads the way for subsequent studies that seek to overcome the constraints of exceptionalism so characteristic of research of the Middle East, Europe/the European Union, and certainly of their relationship.

The Strategic Implications of European Union Enlargement by Esther Brimmer Pdf

Enlargement will change the nature of the European Union, but how will it affect international affairs? The EU and its member states command significant economic resources and have launched a Common Foreign and Security Policy. Yet the demands of taking on ten new countries, concluding a constitutional treaty to accommodate decisionmaking, and dissipating acrimony after the war in Iraq, all complicate efforts to develop and enhance the EU's international presence. This book considers the impact of enlargement with respect to the EU's perception of its international role in specific geographical regions. The contributors discuss a range of global issues, including the environment, food policies, development, terrorism, and the use of force. Contributors include Stefan Fröhlich (University of Erlangen-Nuremberg), Hanna Ojanen and Kristi Raik (Finnish Institute of International Affairs), Ulrike Guerot (German Marshall Fund Berlin Office), Stanislaw Tekieli (Center for Eastern Studies, Warsaw), Michael Leigh (European Commission Directorate General for External Affairs), Henri Barkey (Lehigh University), Anne-Marie LeGloannec (Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches Internationales, Foundation Nationale des Sciences Politiques), Stanislav Tkachenko (St. Petersburg University), Nicolae Idu (European Institute of Romania), Ulrich Weisser, Esther Brimmer, Chantal de Jonge Oudraat, and David Michel, (Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins -SAIS), Daniel Gros (CEPS), Angel Ubide (Tudor Investments), Patrick Cronin (CSIS), and Antonio Missoroli (EU Institute for Security Studies).

Parliamentary Cooperation and Diplomacy in EU External Relations by Kolja Raube,Meltem Müftüler-Baç,Jan Wouters Pdf

In today’s increasingly complex and interdependent world, the role of parliaments in external affairs remains a relatively under explored topic of research. The multiple patterns of global governance are mostly dominated by the executive branches of government, with parliaments relegated to the sidelines. This insightful book aims to challenge this dominant perspective and demonstrate the increased networking of parliaments both within the EU and with external actors outside the EU. It not only sheds light on EU parliamentary cooperation and networking, but also reveals the growing scope and role of parliamentary scrutiny, control and conflict mediation.

The SAGE Handbook of European Foreign Policy by Knud Erik Jorgensen,Aasne Kalland Aarstad,Edith Drieskens,Katie Laatikainen,Ben Tonra Pdf

During the last two decades the study of European foreign policy has experienced remarkable growth, presumably reflecting a more significant international role of the European Union. The Union has significantly expanded its policy portfolio and though empty symbolic politics still exists, the Union’s international relations have become more substantial and its foreign policy more focused. European foreign policy has become a dynamic policy area, being adapted to changing challenges and environments, such as the Arab Spring, new emerging economies/powers; the crisis of multilateralism and much more. The SAGE Handbook of European Foreign Policy, Two-Volume set, is a major reference work for Foreign Policy Programmes around the world. The Handbook is designed to be accessible to graduate and postgraduate students in a wide variety of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. Both volumes are structured to address areas of critical concern to scholars at the cutting edge of all major dimensions of foreign policy. The volumes are composed of original chapters written specifically to the following themes: · Research traditions and historical experience · Theoretical perspectives · EU actors · State actors · Societal actors · The politics of European foreign policy · Bilateral relations · Relations with multilateral institutions · Individual policies · Transnational challenges The Handbook will be an essential reference for both advanced students and scholars.

EU Enlargement and the Failure of Conditionality by Dimitry Kochenov Pdf

Among the criteria for accession to the European Union are democracy and the Rule of Law. In the insightful analysis offered by the author of this book, these concepts - while admirable and even necessary criteria in principle - are almost impossible to measure, and any judgement grounded in them will always be difficult to justify. In his words, 'by including analysis of democracy and the Rule of Law within the field of the EU enlargement law, the Union entered an unstable terrain of vague causal connections and blurred definitions.' Dr Kochenov addresses this problem by proceeding as follows: 1. Outlining EU enlargement law in general, including the principle of conditionality and the role played by the analysis of democracy and the Rule of Law in enlargement preparation; 2. Focusing on the role actually played by the monitoring of democracy and the Rule of Law in ten candidate countries, scrutinizing the way the EU used the legal tools and competences outlined in its enlargement law. The book adopts the EU's own understanding of democracy and the Rule of Law, as derived directly from the substance of the numerous legal and political instruments issued by the Community Institutions and especially the Commission in the course of the pre-accession process. In this way it demonstrates the actual - as opposed to the officially announced - role played by the assessment of democracy and the Rule of Law in the candidate countries in the regulation of enlargement. Many formidable inconsistencies in the application of the conditionality principle are thus laid bare. This leads the author to a series of recommendations on policy and procedure that he demonstrates could be profitably applied to the regulation of current and future accessions, using the Commission's own structure of monitoring pre-accession reforms in the three areas of the legislature, executive, and judiciary in candidate countries. The probity and soundness of these recommendations, firmly grounded as they are in the actual pre-accession monitoring and its consequences for the pre-accession progress of ten Eastern European countries admitted to the EU in 2004 and 2007, will greatly interest policymakers and scholars concerned with the future of European integration.
