Abstract
ABSTRACT When the Eastern Partnership (EaP) was launched in 2009, the core motivation was to supplement the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) with an improved eastern dimension. The EaP was conceived to offer more incentives and rewards, thereby shifting the manner of cooperation to more partnership and away from asymmetry. This article analyses the intentions and effects of the EaP in the case of EU-Georgia relations by investigating two modes of cooperation (external governance and partnership cooperation), which should theoretically enhance EU-Georgia relations. The article’s results reveal that a more fine-tuned partnership concept best suits an analysis of Georgia’s participation within the EaP, depending on the policy field of cooperation.
期刊介绍:
Caucasus Survey is a new peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and independent journal, concerned with the study of the Caucasus – the independent republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, de facto entities in the area and the North Caucasian republics and regions of the Russian Federation. Also covered are issues relating to the Republic of Kalmykia, Crimea, the Cossacks, Nogays, and Caucasian diasporas. Caucasus Survey aims to advance an area studies tradition in the humanities and social sciences about and from the Caucasus, connecting this tradition with core disciplinary concerns in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, cultural and religious studies, economics, political geography and demography, security, war and peace studies, and social psychology. Research enhancing understanding of the region’s conflicts and relations between the Russian Federation and the Caucasus, internationally and domestically with regard to the North Caucasus, features high in our concerns.
