Habilitation Project: EU Foreign Policy Responses to a changing Neighborhood
The increasing contestation of the liberal order in the European neighborhood as well as in some of its member states challenges the established instruments of EU foreign policy and democracy promotion efforts. The project focuses on the EU’s southern neighborhood, including, but not limited to Turkey and Tunisia. It examines the interplay of changing notions of political order within and outside of the EU, and the role of civil society in these processes. The publication based habilitation project contributes to the literature on EU foreign policy and democracy promotion and to a better understanding of the EU’s responses to changes in the global political order and their impact on the EU and its neighborhood. It also aims to develop policy recommendations.
