Abstract :The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) was established with the aim of developing closer relations with the EU’s neighbours to the East and the South. The main objective revolves around developing policies in the area of rule of law, good governance, the respect for human rights, principles of market economy and sustainable development. Although an EU initiative, the support for the development of these policies is largely supported by the U.S. This paper, therefore, seeks to examine the extent and the nature of U.S. policy interventions in both Eastern and Southern flanks of ENP and make broader geopolitical observations of the current situation in two regions.
