The EU Neighbourhood Policies and the Security Crises within the Eastern Neighbourhood [Petrov]

Abstract

The European Union (EU) is in search of an appropriate and efficient framework of relations with its neighbours. Recent events show that the EU has failed to prevent escalating civil conflicts in many regions of Ukraine in the EU neighbourhood. This contribution scrutinizes the current EU external policies towards its Eastern neighbours. The first part of the chapter studies the scope and content of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership and their impact on security in the region. The second part of the paper analyses the impact of the EU neighbourhood policies on the ‘post-Crimea’ and ‘post-Donbass’ EU neighbourhood.
