“…Secondly, the acquis was viewed by Ukraine's reform‐minded elites as a blueprint for much needed modernization (Dragneva and Wolczuk, 2015). Association with the EU was a vital stimulus for restructuring, opening the door to investment and technology flows not available from elsewhere (Dabrowski and Taran, 2012).…”

Given its depth and ambition, the Association Agreement (AA) concluded between the EU and Ukraine may have been expected to result in significant reverse influence on the EU. However, this article shows that this influence is indirect, arising from mechanisms and international processes brought into sharp relief by the AA. These are: the power asymmetry between the parties, politicization of the agreement and geo‐politicization as a form of contestation of the agreement in the geopolitical arena, stirred by Russia's grievances. The article argues that in responding to the asymmetry, politicization and geo‐politicization of the AA, the EU has been pushed to innovate to prevent the legal and political failure of the negotiated agreement. Innovation occurred at different levels: at institutional level to assist Ukraine's capacity to implement it, at constitutional level to ensure its ratification given politicization in the Netherlands, and at policy level to address Russia's geopolitical moves.

“…Vladimir Putin's reaction to the launch of the Eastern Partnership was to launch, in 2010, his own project for a Eurasian Customs Union (ECU), which was presented as an alternative source of integration for most of those same countries (Dreyer and Popescu, ; Stratfor , ). This was a direct challenge to the EU, since membership of the Russian customs union would prove incompatible with membership of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) that the European Commission was pressing on the six countries involved in the EP: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine (Dabrowski and Taran, ). Instead of avoiding a beauty contest with the Kremlin over the rival attractions of these two options, the EU took the view that the partnership countries would simply have to choose.…”

The Ukraine crisis itself is, to some extent, the result of a flawed approach on the part of the EU to the strategic question of its relationships with its Eastern neighbours, an approach rendered more fraught by the parallel American enlargement of NATO. The EU has found itself constrained in its reaction to the Ukraine crisis by policies adopted over previous decades. In the first part, this article will situate the crisis in the historical context of the twin enlargements of the EU and NATO. Secondly, it will assess the consequences of the European neighbourhood policy in fostering the crisis. In the third part, this article will argue that, during the crisis itself, the EU acted in ways that were more constraining than enabling. Finally, the article will evaluate the EU's response in terms of the criteria laid out in the Introductory Framework to this Special Issue.

“…The most important is the introduction of the European technical standards as national (Section 4, Chapter 3, Article 56) and the maximum approximation of the laws of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (Section 4, Chapter 4, Article 64). However, the Agreement framework also stated the approximation of legislation in other areas -public procurement (Section 4, Chapter 8, Article 153), competition (Section 4, Chapter 10, Article 256), statistical calculation (Section 5, Chapter 5, Article 356) , environmental protection (section 5, chapter 6, article 363), transport (section 5, chapter 7, article 368), electronic communication (section 5, chapter 14, article 394), consumer rights protection (section 5, chapter 20, article 417) [3].…”
