Abstract
NEW DIMENSIONS OF THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY: CASE OF ARMENIA
Highlights
The article puts into comparative perspective the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement and the Treaty on Accession of the Republic of Armenia to the Eurasian Economic Union
Armenia has become a member of the Eurasian Economic Union in 2015 and signed the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the EU in 2017
While the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with the EU offers a vision of Armenia’s role globally, the Accession Agreement to the Eurasian Economic Union is only targeted at economic partnership, having no ideational basis
Summary
European Neighbourhood Policy is aimed at creating a circle of friends around the European Union. While the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with the EU offers a vision of Armenia’s role globally, the Accession Agreement to the Eurasian Economic Union is only targeted at economic partnership, having no ideational basis. The implication of this is that Armenia has internalised both discourses, choosing the European political model as a modernisation objective to strive for and the Eurasian Economic Union as a strategic partner in more pragmatic dimensions (security and economic cooperation)
