This book examines EU Eastern Partnership taking into account geopolitical challenges of EU integration. It highlights reasons for limited success, such as systematic conflict of EU External Action. In addition, the book analyses country-specific issues and discusses EaP influence on them, investigating political, economic and social factors, while seeking for potential solutions to existing problems. The reluctance of the Eastern countries to the European reforms should not reduce political pro-activeness of the EU. The authors suggest that EaP strategies should be reviewed to be more reciprocal and not based solely on the EU-laden agenda. This book is one of the good examples of cooperation between scholars not only from EaP and EU countries, but also from different disciplines, bringing diversity to the discussion process.

Very topical issue related to the EU future developments Recommendation for the future strategies Includes diverse and interdisciplinary insight to the EaP policy Includes EaP countries' experiences and critique Wide range of professional authors directly related to EU studies and having close ties with EaP countries Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
