years of existence. It has not yet

drawbacks in relation to each of the
Eastern Partnership countries might
even lead to the conclusion that the

results are far short of what was

Eastern Neighbourhood. Nevertheless,
the Lithuanian presidency of the

(ii) the extent to which the

influence in establishing and
consolidating cooperation between

as well as in providing political

[original abstract:] "In recent
years, the European Neighbourhood
Policy (ENP) has once again become a
politically prominent issue in the
European Union's (EU's)
external-action agenda. This is
mainly because of growing conflicts
in neighbouring countries from Libya
to Ukraine and the EU's inability to
contribute to sufficiently improving
security in these states. There has
also been a significant rise in
criticism in discourse on the ENP,
to some extent even giving the
impression that the policy as a
whole has failed. This study
pinpoints and analyses the main
factors behind the poor performance
of the ENP in terms of guaranteeing
security in countries neighbouring
the EU. The key issue is whether and
to what extent the policy's failure
has been caused by controversies
rooted in differing expectations,
interests and goals of EU member
states and ENP target countries, or
by the controversial conceptual
approach that underlies the policy.
Issues relating to the upcoming ENP
reforms are also of particular
importance for Baltic countries,
both in supporting political and
economic reforms in former Soviet
republics (including nations such as
Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova) and
determining the direction of EU
relations with Russia."

[original ingress:] "Das
Nato-Gipfeltreffen in Newport war
vor allem geprägt von der
Reaktion des Bündnisses auf die
Annexion der Krim und auf die
Destabilisierung der Ostukraine
durch Russland. Abgesehen von den
Einzelbeschlüssen zur
Einrichtung einer Krisen-
Eingreiftruppe sowie zum Aktionsplan
für Osteuropa haben die Staats-
und Regierungschefinnen und -chefs
jedoch den langfristigen
Perspektiven für das
Verhältnis der Allianz zu
Russland wenig Aufmerksamkeit
gewidmet."

[original web-ingress:] "Die
amerikanische Schieferrevolution hat
tiefgreifende Folgen für die
globalen Energiemärkte. Sie
lässt die USA zum
Selbstversorger werden, zugleich
verschieben sich die
Handelsströme von Öl und
Gas stärker in den pazifischen
Raum. Dabei bleibt der Persische
Golf aber das Rückgrat der
Weltölmärkte.
Verflüssigtes Erdgas (LNG) aus
der Region wiederum ist strategisch
bedeutsam für einen globalen
LNG-Markt und trägt dazu bei,
die Energieversorgung auch in Europa
zu diversifizieren.
Dank zunehmender Energiesicherheit
gewinnen die USA an
Handlungsoptionen in ihrer Politik
gegenüber den Golfstaaten. Bei
den dortigen Regimen herrscht grosse
Verunsicherung, denn sie
befürchten ohnehin, dass die
Amerikaner sich aus der Region
zurückziehen werden. Ein
solcher Schritt zeichnet sich
bislang zwar nicht ab, doch Europa
muss sich auf eine stärkere
Lastenteilung mit den USA
einstellen, insbesondere was die
Sicherung seiner Energieströme
vom Persischen Golf angeht.
Die Entwicklungen auf den
Energiemärkten haben nur
langfristig und im Zusammenwirken
mit politischen Faktoren das
Potential, die Stabilität der
arabischen Golfstaaten zu
erschüttern. Kurz- und
mittelfristig müssen diese
Länder ihre eigene
Energieversorgung sicherstellen und
Exporte gewährleisten. Mit
dieser Herausforderung sind sie zu
einem schwierigen Zeitpunkt
konfrontiert. Ihr bisheriges
sozio-ökonomisches
Entwicklungsmodell lässt sich
in Zukunft jedenfalls nicht einfach
fortschreiben.
Die geopolitischen
Unwägbarkeiten in der
Golfregion und die damit verbundenen
Lieferrisiken bieten gute
Gründe für die deutsche
Energiewende. Zugleich erfordert die
neue Energie-Landkarte mehr
internationalen Dialog und
verstärkte Kooperation. Ein
Ansatz dafür wären unter
anderem Energie-Partnerschaften mit
den Golfstaaten."
