The nineties opened up the perspective of European Union enlargement eastwards and caused it to specify the geographical architecture of the continent, distinguishing countries “in” from those called to join the European Union, and those which, whilst remaining outside, are attached to the European Union by special proximity links. But, for those countries in this latter category, can the “neighbourhood policy” offer a credible, lasting alternative to a membership perspective?
