“更广泛的欧洲”倡议为欧盟东欧和南欧邻国建立影响深远的联盟开辟了可能性，该联盟通过提供“除了机构之外的一切”（普罗迪），提出了成员资格的替代方案。本文将这一举措作为扩大后的欧盟雄心勃勃的外部治理议程的一部分，其目的是在改变的地缘政治背景下管理其新的相互依存关系。围绕相互依存的概念和欧盟与其近邻关系的制度配置，外部治理的定义和审查三个突出的“软安全”问题：司法和内政，环境和能源政策。有人认为，外部治理旨在扩大联盟的“法律的边界”，只有有限的开放其“制度边界”，从而对它的近邻国家的包容性和排他性的方法之间摇摆不定。
The 'wider Europe' initiative opens the possibility for a far-reaching association of the EU's eastern and southern European neighbours which, by offering 'everything but institutions' (Prodi), proposes an alternative to membership. This article presents this initiative as part of an ambitious external governance agenda by the enlarged Union with the aim to manage its new interdependence in an altered geopolitical context. Focusing on the conception of interdependence and the institutional configuration of EU relations with its near abroad, external governance is defined and examined in three prominent 'soft security' issues: justice and home affairs, environmental and energy policy. It is argued that external governance seeks to expand the 'legal boundary' of the Union with only limited openings of its 'institutional boundary', thereby oscillating between an inclusionary and exclusionary approach towards its near abroad.
