Summary

This book explores the ways in which differences in interests, values and identity between the European Union (EU) and its eastern neighbours affect relations between them. Most studies of the EU's relations with its eastern neighbours concentrate on the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in terms of norm and rule transfer. This volume takes a multidimensional approach. In particular it explores the concept of Europeanisation and sees how the interplay of different factors--identity, geopolitics, domestic political and economic interests as well as history--affect the interpretation of the concept in the eastern neighbourhood. This ultimately can support or limit the impact of the EU's influence. The volume also goes beyond the members of the ENP to include countries such as Turkey and Russia, for which Europe and Europeanisation play an important part in politics and identity, even if contested and not EU-focused. The volume is timely and relevant for students in its coverage of key issues which dominate the agenda of EU external relations: migration, security, Russia's power, the significance of Turkey, Ukraine between East and West, and divisions in the EU itself. The aim is to be multi-disciplinary and widely accessible rather than theory-heavy. Contributions also include scholars from across the region covered--back cover.
