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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45236760314007,"sku":"9781138815797","price":4565.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138815797.webp?v=1769214332","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-european-union-and-its-eastern-neighbours-towards-a-more-ambitious-partnership-9781138815797","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
