The Enlarged EU and "The European Neighbourhood Policy": Political Process of Its Eastern Dimension

这个项目是对扩大后的欧盟和欧洲睦邻政策(ENP)的研究，重点是其东部政治进程中的动态；由乌克兰、白俄罗斯、摩尔多瓦和亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的南高加索组成的西方新独立国家(WNIS)。欧盟参与了被称为黑海协同的多边合作，并通过ENP建立了双边关系。2.甚至在南高加索地区也开始执行行动计划。3.通过增加贸易，欧盟与俄罗斯的关系有所改善，但引发了更多与能源有关的争议问题。“四个空间”的路线图没有解决人权、媒体自由和“冻结冲突”等问题。欧洲安全与合作组织在“冻结冲突”中起主导作用，而欧盟更多的是作为后备，发挥从属作用。这表明，欧安组织更关心“冻结冲突”的解决。5.然而，这并不意味着俄罗斯成为了一个后退的参与者。俄罗斯仍然有影响力，对“冻结冲突”有很强的影响。6.欧盟‘已采取积极行动，寻求德涅斯特河沿岸问题的解决进程。欧盟驻摩尔多瓦边境援助团(EUBAM)提高了该区域跨界流动和促进民主的透明度。7.美国对黑海地区采取总体政策，为该地区的民主赋予非政府组织权力，并在波兰和捷克共和国建立导弹防御系统。另一方面，俄罗斯将其在阿塞拜疆的雷达站作为另一种选择，显然，美俄关系是分析更广泛的欧洲不可或缺的关键。随着ENP的发展，黑海地区在地缘政治和战略上变得越来越重要。

This project is a study of the enlarged EU and the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), focusing on dynamics in the political process of its eastern dimension; Western Newly Independent States (WNIS) comprising Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and South Caucasus of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.Based on our field work, the following findings are to be emphasized to illustrate a transformation in the international context with ENP.1. EU became engaged in multilateral cooperation termed the Black Sea Synergy accompanied by bilateral relations through ENP. 2. Action Plans have begun to be implemented even in the South Caucasus. 3. The EU-Russia relationship became better through their increased trade but incurred more controversial issues related to energy. Roadmaps for "four spaces" have left issues of human rights, freedom of media, and the "frozen conflicts" unresolved. While OSCE plays a leading role in the "frozen conflicts", EU, more as a backup, plays a subordinated role. This indicates that OSCE is more concerned with the settlement of the "frozen conflicts". 5. This, however, doesn't mean that Russia became a receding player. Russia remains influential and has a strong impact on "frozen conflicts". 6. EU 'has undertaken a proactive action in search for the settlement process of the Transnistrian issues. The EU Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM) to Moldova has improved transparency regarding the cross-border flows and nurturing democracy in the region. 7. The United States has an overarching policy toward the Black Sea region, through empowering NGOs for democracy in the region and forming the missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic. Russia, on the other hand, poses its radar station in Azerbaijan as an alternative, Evidently the US-Russia relationship is an indispensable key for analysis of Wider, Europe. With ENP's development, the Black Sea region became geopolitically and strategically of increasing importance.
