Abstract
This chapter examines the implications of the analysis at three levels. First, it briefly discusses the implications of the broad research perspective favoured in the volume and underlines the added value of an integrative approach for understanding the ENP. Second, the chapter looks at the implications of the book’s empirical findings for the EU’s policy in the neighbourhood and points to contradictions between continuity and change in EU’s actorness. Third, the chapter explores how the 2015 ENP review addresses continuity and change against the background of tensions exposed in the volume and recent developments in the neighbourhood.
