| Abstract: | This paper analyses the impact of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) on domestic change in Ukraine during the period 2005-2007. No political leadership on European matters emerged in Ukraine under the ENP because of the interplay of external and domestic factors. The key instrument of the policy is called the Action Plan (AP). The implementation of AP has been left to the discretion of middle-level state officials, resulting in selective empowerment of sections of the state apparatus. However, this delivered slow, uneven and localised results without strong political engagement or an effective coordinating mechanism. Despite the limited impact of the ENP, it is through the AP that the European Union has for the very first time started to affect domestic developments in Ukraine. |
