The Securitisation of the European Neighbourhood Policy towards the Mediterranean. An Analysis of the Evolution of the ENP towards the Southern Neighbourhood.
Abstract
En 2004, la Política Europea de Vecindad (PEV) se creó con el objetivo de regir las relaciones de la UE con sus países más cercanos y alcanzar una mayor estabilidad, seguridad y prosperidad en la región. Desde su origen, las condiciones en los territorios que conforman la “vecindad” han cambiado de manera significativa. La PEV se ha visto continuamente desafiada por estos cambios y ha tenido que adaptarse y transformarse para dar respuesta a la nueva situación.
La región del Mediterráneo ha sido particularmente afectada por la inestabilidad en la última década con la Primavera Árabe en 2011, la guerra civil en Siria o la consecuente crisis de refugiados. Estos cambios han conllevado la redefinición de la región y de las prioridades de la UE y de su seguridad en estos territorios. El objetivo de este TFG es analizar cómo ha evolucionado la PEV en el Mediterráneo, y cómo se pueden explicar los cambios en esta política. Con este fin, se realiza un análisis del discurso y del contenido de los principales documentos de la PEV para identificar los nuevos intereses de la UE, las principales áreas de la PEV y los cambios en la representación de la Dimensión Sur.
The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) was launched in 2004 as a framework to govern the relations of the European Union with its nearby countries and aimed at accomplishing better stability, security and prosperity in the region. Since its creation, the situation in the territories that form the so-called neighbourhood has changed significantly. The ENP has been challenged by the continuous changes and has adapted and transformed to find a more accurate response to the new conditions. In particular, the Southern Neighbourhood has undergone several transformations during the last decade -from the Arab Spring in 2011 to the collapse of Libya, the civil war in Syria and the consequential refugee crisis- that prompted the redefinition of actors in the neighbourhood as well as the alteration of the EU main priorities and security concerns in the region. The aim of this project is to analyse how the ENP has evolved in the region and what have been the main trends. For that, a discourse and content analysis of the main ENP documents is carried out in order to identify the new interests and issues of the ENP, and the changes in the portrayal of the neighbourhood.
