    Abstract

    In the year 2004 the EU implemented the European Neighbourhood Policy as the latest policy instrument in order to create a sustainable and coherent policy with the countries in its next-door neighbourhood. From the very beginning the countries of the southern Caucasus, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia were part of the European Neighbourhood Policy, although these countries were not designated to be part of the European Neighbourhood Policy because of their geographical distance when the European Neighbourhood Policy was designed. This paper delves into the question of why the EU changed its position within only one year. This paper will identify the geostrategic interests that played a key role as well as analyze to what extend the EU's course of action can be explained with a modified neorealistic approach. This approach shall help to scrutinize and better understand the current and future developments in the neighbourhood policy of the EU.
