The global financial crisis 2008+ and the euro area crisis highlighted how fragile the institutional set-up of today’s world is. Moreover, these crises reminded us that questions of international collaboration and multilateralism as well as questions of security, in all its dimensions, remain as valid as ever. Taking these observations as a point of departure, this paper asks the question of how these twin-crises and their implications influenced the ENP and its effi cacy. To this end, an integrated two-pronged approach to the study of the ENP is employed to gain a more comprehensive insight into the ENP, its evolution and the impact it can actually exert on the EU’s neighbourhood.
