Abstract: The EU’s newly launched European
Neighborhood Policy is a fascinating case
study in organizational management theory of
how the Commission strategically adapted
enlargement policies to expand its foreign
policy domain. From the use of Action
Plans, regular reports and negotiations to
the larger conceptualization and use of
socialization and conditionality, the
development of the policy shows significant
mechanical borrowing from the enlargement
strategies. Given the lack of the membership
carrot, the question is whether such
adaptation from enlargement can promote
political reforms in the ENP countries,
which are generally poor, often autocratic
and in some cases embroiled in domestic
conflicts.
