Abstract
Designed for the European Union’s neighbours with no perspective of full membership, the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) can be summarized briefly as a strategy formulated by the EU to promote a generous integration scheme motivating the participants to embark upon reforms with long-term consequences for the EU’s own security and stability, and at the same time stave off new accessions. The main aim of this chapter is to explore similarities and differences between the ENP and the security-related arguments in favour of Turkey’s membership of the EU. The chapter analyses the potential success or failure of the ENP, while examining factors explaining why Turkey was never considered to be included in the ENP in the first place, and took its shaky place in the future of Europe despite the challenges and problems it brings with it.
