| Summary: | [From the Introduction]. The Stability Pact approach overlaps with other forms of regional organisation and cooperation in the EU’s borderlands. In fact the whole of the EU’s periphery is now covered by regional initiatives which see the overlapping of EU member states, candidates and noncandidates (for the Barents and Baltic Seas, Arctic, Northern Dimension, Mediterranean, Central European Initiative, etc.). Stability Pacts are a sub-set of these regional actions, which critically involve conflict resolution or prevention. The focus here is on the Balkans and Caucasus as two target regions with much in common, except they are in different ‘near abroads’ geo-politically. |
