Executive Summary / 1. Introduction / 2. The ENP is Dead, Long Live the ENP? / 3. Article 8 TECU / 4. The ENP Toolbox / 5. Institutional Rearrangements: In Search of Coherence / 6. Conclusion / Bibliogrpahy
At a time when the European Union’s neighbourhood is widely considered to be a ‘ring of fire’, Steven Blockmans offers a refreshingly accessible and provocative account of the EU’s foreign policy towards its ‘near abroad’. Whether or not one agrees with the book's conclusion that the ENP is in ‘suspended animation’, this is a highly thought-provoking, detailed and illuminating analysis.

With its in-depth analysis of the challenges facing the EU as it rethinks the policy approach towards its neighbours, this book comes out at a critical time. It is required reading for all those concerned with the future of a liberal world order.
