An Appraisal of the EU's Trade Policy towards Its Eastern Neighbours

This book assesses the state of discussions between the European Union and Georgia on a free trade agreement. The case of Georgia is unique in a few respects. Georgia's own trade policy is more open toward the EU than vice versa, and it has achieved governance reforms on par with some of the EU member states. Yet preconditions imposed by the European Commission are far more onerous than those it demanded of other neighboring countries.
