ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the role played by the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) within the foreign policy objectives of key Member States and the ensuing challenges posed in the wake of the 2015–16 migration and refugee crisis. An ambitious regional policy, the ENP has undergone a number of significant shifts driven largely by the turbulence of its key areas. Operating within the foreign policy architecture of both the European Union (EU) and its Member States, the ENP's role as a geopolitical opportunity or a security risk remains in question. The enormous challenges to the EU, the Member States and the wider neigh-bourhood posed by recent migratory pressures, the role of migration and asylum in shaping the ENP and Member States' foreign policy responses to the crisis also requires investigation. Using national examples of Germany, Greece and Slovakia, the chapter explores the symbiotic relationship between ENP and migratory challenges in terms of the uploaded and downloaded foreign policy preferences of Member States.
