Abstract
The ENP represents a unique setting for analysing the transfer of democratic governance provisions through functional cooperation in individual policy sectors. This is due to both the substance and the institutional framework of sectoral cooperation under the ENP. With regard to substance, the ENP relies on third countries’ commitment to approximate their laws and policies with those of the EU in a range of policy areas. Institutionally, this policy transfer is based on a differentiated structure of regular political and technocratic dialogue, instruments of financial support and capacity building, and monitoring mechanisms.
