Description
Summary:The European Union is dependent on co-operation with its neighbours to create a "space of freedom, security & rule of law". Therefore, topics of domestic & judicial policy -- asylum & immigration, domestic security, the fight against terrorism -- are of the utmost importance for the success of the European Neighbourhood Policy. Furthermore, home affairs policy & judicial policy are inseparable from democracy & rule of law, the key issues in the ENP as a whole. However, it is questionable whether conditionality is effective as leverage for transformation. Furthermore, conflicting aims exist between co-operation in security policy & reform guidelines in the rule of law. The results are therefore modest so far. Adapted from the source document.
