  abstract  = {Seit 2004 versucht die EU mit der Europ{\"a}ischen Nachbarschaftspolitik demokratische Werte in ihre Nachbarl{\"a}nder zu exportieren. Adressaten sind L{\"a}nder der Mittelmeerunion und L{\"a}nder des postsozialistischen Europa, die in der {\"O}stlichen Partnerschaft zusammengefasst sind. Als außenpolitisches Instrument bietet die Nachbarschaftspolitik eine Alternative zur Erweiterungspolitik. In erster Linie sollen negative Entwicklungen wie illegale Migration, organisierte Kriminalit{\"a}t, grenz{\"u}bergreifende Umweltzerst{\"o}rungen und ethnische Konflikte abgewehrt werden. Die Studie analysiert Externalisierung, Sozialisierung und Imitation als Mechanismen des Europ{\"a}isierungsprozesses und untersucht im Rahmen einer empirischen Prozessanalyse am Beispiel der Ukraine, welche der von der Europ{\"a}ischen Union angewandten Mechanismen den gr{\"o}ßten Erfolg f{\"u}r eine Normenadaption bedeuten.},

Regional Governance gilt als eine Kooperationsform unterschiedlicher regionaler Akteure, die nach neuen Synergien suchen, um ihre Zusammenarbeit voranzutreiben.

  abstract  = {Public debate about energy relations between the EU and Russia is distorted. These distortions present considerable obstacles to the development of true partnership. At the core of the conflict is a struggle for resource rents between energy producing, energy consuming and transit countries. Supposed secondary aspects, however, are also of great importance. They comprise of geopolitics, market access, economic development and state sovereignty. The European Union, having engaged in energy market liberalisation, faces a widening gap between declining domestic resources and continuously growing energy demand. Diverse interests inside the EU prevent the definition of a coherent and respected energy policy. Russia, for its part, is no longer willing to subsidise its neighbouring economies by cheap energy exports. The Russian government engages in assertive policies pursuing Russian interests. In so far, it opts for a different globalisation approach, refusing the role of mere energy exporter. In view of the intensifying struggle for global resources, Russia, with its large energy potential, appears to be a very favourable option for European energy supplies, if not the best one. However, several outcomes of the strategic game between the two partners can be imagined. Engaging in non-cooperative strategies will in the end leave all stakeholders worse-off. The European Union should therefore concentrate on securing its partnership with Russia instead of damaging it. Stable cooperation would need the acceptance that the partner may pursue his own goals, which might be different from one's own interests. The question is, how can a sustainable compromise be found? This thesis finds that a mix of continued dialogue, a tit for tat approach bolstered by an international institutional framework and increased integration efforts appears as a preferable solution.},
