2nd ENP PhD Summer School: “Between Continuity and Change: The EU, the ENP and the Southern and Eastern Neighbourhood”
The Second ENP Ph.D. Summer School, exploring the nexus “Between Continuity and Change: The EU, the ENP and the Southern and Eastern Neighbourhood”, was held from 25 June to 4 July 2014 at the College of Europe, Natolin campus (Warsaw).
The Ph.D. Summer School focused on the multi-facetted dynamics in the relations between the European Union and its southern and eastern neighbourhoods, particularly within the framework of the revised European Neighbourhood Policy. It addressed the evolution and implications of the revised ENP, the social and political transformations in the EU’s neighbouring countries, issues related to conflict and territorial occupation, and it discussed how the most recent developments in the ENP countries influence EU policies and politics.
