{"product_id":"european-union-and-its-eastern-neighbours","title":"European Union and its Eastern Neighbours","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the EU’s relations with its eastern neighbours. Based on extensive original research – including surveys, focus-groups, a study of school essays and in-depth interviews with key people in Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Russia and in Brussels – it assesses why the EU’s initiatives have received limited legitimacy in the neighbourhood. \u003cbr\u003eThe European Neighbourhood Policy of 2004, and the subsequent Eastern Partnership of 2009 heralded a new form of relations with the EU’s neighbours – \u003cem\u003epartnership\u003c\/em\u003e based on joint ownership and shared values – which would complement if not entirely replace the EU’s traditional governance framework used for enlargement. These initiatives have, however, received a mixed response from the EU’s eastern neighbours. The book shows how the key elements of \u003cem\u003epartnership\u003c\/em\u003e have been forged mainly by the EU, rather than jointly, and examines the idea and application of \u003cem\u003eexternal governance\u003c\/em\u003e, and how this has been over-prescriptive and confusing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246324732248,"sku":"9781138815797","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138815797.jpg?v=1777779916","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/european-union-and-its-eastern-neighbours","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
