Book Synopsis EU Neighbourhood Policy in the Maghreb by : Iole Fontana
Download or read book EU Neighbourhood Policy in the Maghreb written by Iole Fontana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of their geographical proximity and crucial strategic importance, the European Union (EU) has long identified cooperation with the countries of the Mediterranean region a central priority of its external relations and has developed a complex set of policies and instruments. Yet, there is a certain academic consensus that EU external policies in the area did not live up to their original expectations, insofar as little progress was made to accomplish the proclaimed goals while the implementation of structural reforms proved to be extremely problematic. These deficiencies in EU Mediterranean policies are symptomatic of what is a greater challenge in EU external policy-making: the struggle for implementation. This book analyses the implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy in the Mediterranean, focusing on specific programs financed under the European Neighbourhood Policy Instrument in the years before and after the Arab uprisings. Building on a comparative analysis of two Maghreb countries, Tunisia and Morocco, it provides an in-depth investigation on the role of domestic actors in constraining or providing points of opportunity for the implementation of the ENP. The book presents new empirical data and, by focusing on the role of local actors in the neighbouring countries, it offers interesting insights not only into the ENPI complex processes of implementation, but also on the challenges of the E U in the region and the state of relations with the Southern neighbourhood. Through the prism of the European Neighbourhood Policy, the book provides a window into the internal politics and relevant issues of Maghreb countries. It will therefore be a valuable resource for students and scholars of European and Mediterranean Studies, as well as those interested in EU international relations.
Book Synopsis The Greater Maghreb by : David Garcia Cantalapiedra
Download or read book The Greater Maghreb written by David Garcia Cantalapiedra and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-18 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a different approach in the study of the Sahel region in North Africa. Due to the hybrid security threats sweeping across the area, the whole region becomes a new security complex different from Middle East and more related to Western and Central Africa developments, including the impact of drug-trafficking coming from Latin America. This book discusses how the Transnational Organized Crime-Terrorism Nexus has created a very different dynamics from Middle East’s, hitting hard to people, societies and states there. The contributors argue that the countries in the area and the European Union should recognize this new complex and respond properly and differently to this situation.

Book Synopsis The EU in the Mediterranean after the Arab Uprisings by : Roberto Roccu
Download or read book The EU in the Mediterranean after the Arab Uprisings written by Roberto Roccu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining a range of policy areas, this book aims to assess and qualify the claim that EU policies towards the Arab Mediterranean after the uprisings are predominantly marked by continuity with the past. This is attributed to the fact that the EU still acts with the aim of maximising its own security by preserving stability in the region. The book explores how security, stability and the link between them – the security-stability nexus – are better understood as the master frame shaping the EU’s approach towards the Southern Mediterranean and how this affects policy enactment. The book shows that the security-stability nexus has at least been reframed in the wake of the uprisings, but also that more change has occurred in the redefinition of the master frame than in its actual enactment. The framing and reframing of the security-stability nexus, before and after the Arab uprisings, depends on the policy area under consideration, the variety of actors involved, and the forms of their involvement. This is also crucially because of the different disposition towards the EU of prominent actors in Arab Mediterranean partner countries, which points towards the EU’s increasing difficulties to achieve its goals in its near abroad. This book was originally published as a special issue of Mediterranean Politics.
Book Synopsis The European Union's Broader Neighbourhood by : Sieglinde Gstöhl
Download or read book The European Union's Broader Neighbourhood written by Sieglinde Gstöhl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade the European Union (EU) has gradually developed the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) with its neighbours. At the same time, the ‘neighbours of the EU’s neighbours’ have presented new challenges. This book addresses the EU’s broader neighbourhood, comprising of the ENP countries and the neighbours of its 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. This book will be of interest to students, experts and scholars interested in EU affairs and politics, international relations, EU and international law, diplomacy and area studies.
Book Synopsis European Neighborhood Policy by : Luigi Carafa
Download or read book European Neighborhood Policy written by Luigi Carafa and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at the institutional set-up and the politico-economic dimension of the European Neighbourhood Policy towards Morocco from a foreign policy analysis standpoint. Thanks to its particular progress and ambition, Morocco is among the four countries whose bilateral ties with the EU are to be upgraded. As far as regards the economic and social issues of the policy, relevant progresses have been done in the practice by starting in 2008 the negotiations of an agreement on liberalizing trade in services and investments. The energy sector development is of high interest because of the strengthening of Morocco's role in the EU energy security as a country of transit in the Maghreb region. What is however striking in EU-Morocco relations is the low priority of political issues in comparison to the economic and energy related issues. An important exception to this is the area of Justice and Home Affairs, where arguably, the politics of insecurity produces policies at incomparable speed. It can be argued that not only the individual level of structural foreign policy is neglected, but also the importance of societal and inter-societal levels in effective foreign policy-making is not rightly emphasized.

Book Synopsis The European Union and North Africa by : Adel Abdel Ghafar
Download or read book The European Union and North Africa written by Adel Abdel Ghafar and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Europe can hit the “reset” button after years of failed responses to North African turmoil The ongoing upheaval in North Africa has presented many challenges to Europe, which previously had been comfortable with the status quo of authoritarian leadership in much of the region. Now in its ninth year, the turmoil has forced European leaders to rethink their approaches to the region, based on the now-obvious reality that the brief hopes of early 2011 for the spread of democracy and economic progress will not be fulfilled anytime soon. In this book, experts from Europe, the United States, and the Middle East discuss what has happened since the so-called “Arab Spring” emerged and how those often-bewildering events have affected both North Africa and the European states across the Mediterranean. The book is based on papers presented at a March 2018 conference sponsored by the South Mediterranean Regional Program of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. Chapters focus on events in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia—and offer ideas for how the European Union can adopt fresh approaches to the region, moving beyond its frequently uncertain and shifting responses of recent years.
Book Synopsis The Integration of the Mediterranean Neighbours into the EU Internal Market by : Karolien Pieters
Download or read book The Integration of the Mediterranean Neighbours into the EU Internal Market written by Karolien Pieters and published by T.M.C. Asser Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a Foreword by Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council The European Union’s neighbouring countries to the south and the east of the Mediterranean have never been able to establish a regional form of integration of their own. Instead, the Maghreb, Mashreq and Israel have always vied for a stake in the EU internal market. At the beginning of the European integration process, the Mediterranean neighbours were offered few economic advantages. Confronted with emerging trading powers such as China and Russia in the 1990s, the EU changed tack and sought increased levels of integration of the Mediterranean countries into its internal market. This book offers the first comprehensive overview and analysis of policies and instruments employed to integrate the Mediterranean countries in the EU internal market. In particular, the author examines the Euro-Med Partnership, the European Neighbourhood Policy, the ‘Barcelona Process: the Union for the Mediterranean’, the Euro-Med Association Agreements, and the ENP Action Plans. Combined with a thorough analysis of the most relevant case law of the European Court of Justice concerning the Euro-Med movement of goods, services, capital and persons, the author establishes a complete and up-to-date state of the integration of the Mediterranean countries with respect to the four above-mentioned fundamental freedoms of the EU internal market. The book will be an important resource and a tool for decision-makers, officials and academics involved in the external relations of the EU and the export of the internal market acquis. Dr. KarolienPieters is a senior research fellow in EU law and a member of the Centre for the Law of EU External Relations (CLEER) at the T.M.C. Asser Instituut in The Hague.
Book Synopsis The Foreign Policies of the European Union and the United States in North Africa by : Francesco Cavatorta
Download or read book The Foreign Policies of the European Union and the United States in North Africa written by Francesco Cavatorta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war in Iraq seemed to bring to a head underlying differences between the United States and the vast majority of European countries regarding the best means to maintain international peace and stability. The unilateralism of the United States as opposed to the multilateralism of the European Union is seen as a very significant source of potential rivalry between the two actors. This volume examines in detail whether the policies of the United States and the EU are truly diverging with respect to the most pressing issues facing North Africa, or whether, in fact, they are converging in terms of objectives to be achieved and strategies for their implementation. Through a number of papers that include both comparative and case specific studies, this book enables a better understanding of the differences and similarities in EU and US foreign policies and security strategies for the region, a clearer analysis of their respective democracy promotion policies, and a better examination of their respective approach to the ‘Islamist question’ in light of the continued success of such movements. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of North African Studies.

Book Synopsis Europe's Relations with North Africa by : Adam Yousef
Download or read book Europe's Relations with North Africa written by Adam Yousef and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rapid evolution of events in the European, Middle Eastern, and North African spheres has reinvigorated the debate on Euro-Mediterranean relations. Since 1995 these relations have operated under the auspices of the Barcelona Process, which laid the foundations for three initiatives that define European policy towards neighbouring states: the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, the European Neighbourhood Policy, and the Union for the Mediterranean. This book scrutinises these initiatives through a socioeconomic prism. Adam Yousef reviews how appropriate these initiatives have been in promoting socioeconomic development in North African states, projects the long-term implications of these policies and investigates whether they can reduce the gap in social outcomes across the Mediterranean Basin over time. Using Morocco as a case study, this book employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data as well as economic theory. It reveals not only that the Barcelona Process has had a limited impact on promoting social outcomes in Morocco, but crucially that it is also unlikely to do so in the future, suggesting a new approach may be required."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Book Synopsis The European Union’s Immigration Policy by : Ayselin Gözde Yıldız
Download or read book The European Union’s Immigration Policy written by Ayselin Gözde Yıldız and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the externalization of the EU’s immigration and asylum practices towards non-member transit countries and the consequences of this process. Selected policy areas of externalization (border management, visa policy, readmission agreements and asylum policy) are applied to Turkey and Morocco as two main migration transit countries within two different institutional cooperation mechanisms: Turkey as an EU candidate country within the EU’s enlargement policy; Morocco without membership prospect within the EU’s neighborhood policy. Yıldız applies theoretical debates and critically compares the rhetoric in policy papers with practice in the field. This volume not only contributes to the issue of the external dimension of EU immigration policy by incorporating transit countries into the debate, but also expands upon our understanding of the EU’s contested external governance paradigm. It will be of use to students, scholars, and policy makers in the field of European studies, migration and asylum studies, international relations, and political science.
