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 EU's capability to be a driver of reform, without automatically promising the "golden carrot" of membership to the neighbors. This book provides the reader with information on what the ENP wants, how it works, and what the prospects of the EU's cooperation with neighboring countries are.
