The European Unions Broader Neighbourhood
Over the past decade the European Union (EU) has gradually developed the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) with its neighbours. At the same time, the neighbours of the EUs neighbours have presented new challenges.
This book addresses issues surrounding the EUs broader neighbourhood, comprising the ENP countries and the neighbours of its neighbours. With specific focus on Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, it discusses trans-regional policy issues that arise from the EUs relations with regions beyond the ENP. Based on an interdisciplinary, policy-oriented approach, this volume explores major political, legal, security and socio-economic challenges and identifies opportunities for cooperation across the EUs broader neighbourhood.
This book will be of interest to students, experts and scholars interested in EU affairs and politics, international relations, EU and international law, diplomacy and area studies.
Sieglinde Gsthl is Director of the Department of EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies at the College of Europe in Bruges.
Erwan Lannon is Professor in European Law at the Faculty of Law of Ghent University and Visiting Professor at the College of Europe in Bruges and Natolin.
