Over the past decade the European Union (EU) has gradually developed the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) with its immediate post-enlargement neighbours. At the same time, the neighbours of the EU’s neighbours have increasingly presented new challenges. This timely book addresses the European Union’s broader neighbourhood, comprising of the ENP countries and their neighbours. With specific focus on Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, it discusses trans-regional policy issues that arise from the EU’s relations with regions beyond the ENP. Based on an interdisciplinary, policy-oriented approach, this volume explores major political, legal, security and socio-economic challenges and identifies opportunities for cooperation across the EU’s broader neighbourhood.
