The European Neighborhood Policy

Focusing on the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP), this book explores its impact following the EU's expansion in 2004, particularly in the South Caucasus region. It frames the ENP as a "soft empire" strategy aimed at enhancing security by stabilizing neighboring areas through the export of values and governance. The analysis draws parallels between the ENP and imperial structures organized in concentric circles, challenging traditional linear concepts of borders. This work is valuable for scholars and professionals engaged in International and European Studies and European integration.
