This paper focuses on two particular EU policies towards non-EU members in Northern Europe: the Northern Dimension (ND) initiative and the European Economic Area (EEA). Both are being analyzed in light of two broader themes: first, how the EU organizes its policy towards its neighbors more generally and, secondly, the enlargement process and how the EU has attempted to develop alternatives to EU membership. The Northern Dimension could be a useful model for the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP), in particular vis-à-vis the Eastern neighbors.
