European Neighourhood Policy (ENP), launched 2004 as an instrument of closer relations with neighbours at east and south of Europe, was from the very beginning overambitious and contradictory policy. ENP not only overemphasized the EU normative power, but EU influence could not prevent political and security set-backs in the east, nor destabilization in the south. EU influence on reforms, democratization processes, foreign policies or conflict resolution in Eastern partnership countries is limited, while eastern regimes are more and more authoritarian and countries stucked in partial market reforms. In the south, Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and Union for Mediterranean are facing new challenges after Arab spring. EU announced more strict use of conditionality as an incentive for political reforms, but power of EU conditionality towards countries which have not prospect or desire to become EU members is questionable. ; Evropska politika susedstva, pokrenuta 2004. godine kao instrument ostvarivanja bližih odnosa sa zemljama susedima na istoku i jugu EU, od početka je predstavljala preambicioznu i protivrečnu politiku koja ne samo da je precenila snagu svog normativnog uticaja, već svojim uticajem nije uspela da spreči pogoršanje bezbednosne i političke situacije na istoku Evrope, kao ni porast nestabilnosti u Mediteranu. Uticaj EU na reforme, proces demokratizacije, spoljne politike ili rešavanje sukoba u zemljama Istočnog partnerstva ograničen je a režimi na istoku sve autoritarniji i tržišne reforme se polovično sprovode. Na jugu, evro-mediteransko partnerstvo i Unija za Mediteran suočavaju se sa novim izazovima nakon arapskog proleća. EU najavljuje striktniju primenu uslovljavanja u cilju podsticanja političkih reformi, ali snaga uslovljavanja prema zemljama koje ne mogu ili ne žele da postanu članice EU ostaje pod znakom pitanja.

Policy towards asylum seekers has been a controversial topic for more than a decade. Rising numbers of asylum applications have been met with ever-tougher policies to deter them. Following a period of policy harmonisation, the EU has reached a crucial stage in the development of a new Common European Asylum System. This paper seeks to shed light on what form this should take. It summarizes the development of policy to date and it argues that these policies have been too tough, even from the point of view of EU citizens. Using an economic framework, it examines scenarios with different degrees of policy harmonisation and integration among EU countries. Finally, it argues that there is an important role for enhanced burden-sharing arrangements.

In 2004, the European Union proposed a project entitled the European Neighborhood Policy as a new strategic option. The project had been adopted by the European Council one year earlier in a proposal to the concerned states. The European Neighborhood Policy proposes the development of the scope of cooperation between the European Union and the southwestern Mediterranean countries through several political, economic, social, and cultural fields. Yet, the sphere of security is set at the top of its priorities. It is based on the principles of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, as well as on establishing security and stability between the countries on the two shores of the Mediterranean neighboring Europe. This would be based on a common framework and a larger volume of mutual cooperation that is embodied in a genuine partnership that would confront common challenges. The study explores and provides an answer to the following question: To what extent can the European Neighborhood Policy be considered a representation of regionalism and the embodiment of a genuine European desire through which it would be able to build a "security group" in the Mediterranean basin?

THIS ARTICLE CONSIDERS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE GROWING POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INTEGRATION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU). MANY HAVE PRAISED RECENT EU MEASURES DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND ARGUE THAT SINCE MANY ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS TRANSCEND NATIONAL BORDERS, THE SOLUTIONS SHOULD AS WELL. OTHERS, HOWEVER, POINT TO THE ORIGINS OF THE UNION AND TO THE FACT THAT IT IS STILL AN ESSENTIALLY CAPITALIST CLUB BENT ON MAINTAINING FREE TRADE AND HEALTHY PROFITS. THEREFORE, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION IS SECONDARY TO THE PRIMARY GOAL OF CREATING WEALTH. THE FUTURE REMAINS AS UNCLEAR AS THE AIR OVER MUCH OF EUROPE.
