This study analyses the export of common values in the EU's foreign policy, seen through the developing European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). Instead of offering a future EU membership as the main 'carrot' for reforms in the partner countries involved, the EU is trying to exert influence by other means, not least conditionality. First, the study explores how this export of common values in EU foreign policy can be characterised: what values are intended to be exported, what are the reasons behind this ambition and under which conditions can this strategy be considered successful? Second, it analyses the intended export of common EU values in the developing ENP.
