摘要
EU's policies towards neighbouring countries and subregions are often blamed for their ineffectiveness. This article explores the sources and dynamics of the Union's leverage. Surveying the literature on eastern enlargement and the European Neighbourhood Policy, it draws on IR conceptual apparatus to distinguish two modes of interaction between the EU and its neighbours – gatekeeping and power projection. Its core claim is that the former mode is central to the Union's influence in ‘near abroads’, including parts of the former Soviet Union and the Western Balkans.
