Gstöhl, Sieglinde (ed.), The European Neighbourhood Policy in a Comparative Perspective: Models, Challenges, Lessons, Abingdon, Routledge, 2016.
The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) has evolved into one of the European Union’s major foreign policy instruments and received considerable attention. However, other EU neighbourhood policies, and their relevance for the ENP, also require examination. This timely book puts the ENP into context by exploring the major challenges and key lessons of the EU’s other policy frameworks with neighbouring countries. Mapping the EU’s bi-lateral and multilateral neighbourhood relations in comparison to the ENP and investigating the major challenges faced, it provides a comprehensive, up-to-date view of the EU’s relations with its neighbours. Focusing on current affairs and future challenges, the comparison with the ENP and the lessons to be drawn, generate novel insights into the EU’s closest external relations.
