Abstract

In a belief that a certain degree of policy effectiveness is endemic to any type of policy and actor, including the EU’s European Neighbourhood Policy and Eastern Partnership, and that the latter policies represent a part of the Union’s strategic effort, this article pleads for evaluating the effects these policies wield in the long-term perspective, rather than alleging their short-sighted failures. In order to explore where the EU’s power in the neighbourhood is and how it works (how EU rule extends), this article, firstly, conceptualizes the Union’s engagement in the associated neighbourhood as a manifestation of structural power. Then, secondly, it reveals the internal logic of what has been termed as “structural power Europe” by means of explaining the rationale beyond the notion, the sources (legal and market authority), mechanics (externalization, “internalization”) and instances (security, democracy, energy and economy structures) of the EU’s structural engagement in the newly associated Eastern neighbourhood.
