Summary
This timely book puts the ENP into context by exploring the major challenges and key lessons of the EU's other policy frameworks with neighbouring countries. Mapping the EU's bi-lateral and multilateral neighbourhood relations in comparison to the ENP, it provides a comprehensive, up-to-date view of the EU's relations with its neighbours.
