'The book provides a timely analysis of the impact of crisis on EU foreign policy and the ENP. [...] For academics interested in the details of foreign policy change, this book is a welcome contribution that challenges thin conceptualizations of this phenomenon as a cumulative process. And for policy-makers who are unsure how to deal with today's challenges in the EU's neighbourhood, this book is a useful reflection upon past decisions. Ikani recognizes the opportunities and constraints of the institutional and temporal factors and encourages policy-makers to actively shape the substance and direction of change in the future.'
