POLITICAL ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY IN IT’S TWENTY ANNIVERSARY FROM 2004 TO 2024

Abstract

Twenty years have passed since the European Union launched the European Neighborhood Policy in 2004. During this period, the European Neighborhood Policy has needed to be updated. This has necessitated a renewal of the European Union's policy towards the countries in its southern and eastern neighborhood. In this context, the research aims to make a political analysis of the extent to which the European Union has come closer to this political goal with the European Neighborhood Policy over a twenty-year period. The hypothesis to be tested is whether the European Neighborhood Policy has been a successful foreign policy tool or not. In order to defend its hypothesis, this study prefers qualitative methods. In this context, literature was reviewed through primary and official sources, and the findings were tested with case studies and used to prove the hypothesis. The conclusion of the research in the context of soft power is that in the European Union's foreign policy towards neighboring countries through its normative values has been partially successful. With this policy, the EU has failed to bring the expected prosperity and peace to the eastern and southern regions.
