The EU’s Relations with Its Neighbours:
Between Colonialism and Canada

6 March 2020 – Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

As Brexit reminds us, the EU cannot always rely on its neighbours being rule-takers. Yet those neighbours may still want close relations, and the EU may want them too. Are the current models of neighbourly relations up the task? What kind of relation with the EU do its neighbours want, which issues matter to them, and how much discrepancy is there between their vision and that of the EU?
