  • EU Crisis Management and the Ukraine Crisis Marijn Van Rees
    Final Dissertation Analysing the effectiveness of the EU as a regional crisis management actor in the post-Lisbon era: a case study assessment of the capability-expectations gap applied to the Ukraine crisis Name: Marijn van Rees Student number: 12047813 Supervisor: Magnús Árni Skjöld Magnússon Date of Completion: 26 May, 2016 The Hague University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Management and Organisation European Studies EU Crisis Management and the Ukraine Crisis Marijn van Rees Executive Summary This research examines the effectiveness of the EU as a regional crisis management actor in the post- Lisbon era. In doing so, an assessment is made of the capability-expectations gap applied to the crisis in Ukraine, thereby building upon the work of Hill (1993) and that of Ginsberg (1999). This research argues that in order to examine EU crisis management effectiveness, an adaptation is needed of the capability-expectations gap (CEG) as a concept. This research has tried to bring together aspects of the capability-expectations gap with additional tools to make this concept more applicable and thus suitable for measuring the actual outcomes or effectiveness of EU crisis management. This research discusses that to some extent there has been a discrepancy between Ukraine’s expectations and the EU’s response during the crisis. Although the policies and policy-instruments at the EU’s disposal are firmly in place, the EU continues to suffer from insufficient resources to adopt a truly comprehensive approach, and institutional incoherence in terms of its foreign policy. Furthermore, the EU has suffered from a certain degree of policy incoherence both prior and during the crisis, and from reliability on a legitimated and multilateral approach.

  • The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP): Extending Governance Beyond Borders?*
    Draft: Not to be cited without author’s permission The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP): Extending Governance beyond Borders?* Dr. Stefan Gänzle Visiting Assistant Professor (DAAD) University of British Columbia Institute for European Studies/Political Science 179 C. K. Choi, 1855 West Mall Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z2 [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this paper I argue that the development of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) can be understood as a form of ‘externalization of EU governance’. In 2004 and 2007, the EU enlarged to encompass twelve new member states and thus acquired a new neighbourhood, notably in Eastern Europe. Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova now share a common border with the EU. Since 2001/02, the EU has been developing the ENP to cope with the challenges resulting from this new political landscape, and as such, the ENP is now the primary instrument through which EU governance is externalized. With the exception of Belarus and Russia, the European Union’s Eastern neighbours are intent on acquiring EU membership. The EU, in turn, is keen on maintaining its Eastern borders safe and secure from external risks such as illegal migration, environmental degradation and economic crisis. In order to meet these objectives, the EU promotes democratic and economic reforms in the countries located along its Eastern border and in doing so strives to foster political stability and security in the wider Europe. While hierarchy and negotiation constitute the dominant modes of governance in enlargement, this paper will demonstrate that coordination and competition – albeit in the shadow of hierarchy – are the most central modes of governance discernible within the European Neighbourhood Policy.
