Description: The author analyses the implementation of the agricultural and industrial parts of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. This study forms the first comprehensive attempt to examine the EU-led reforms and initiatives in the two sectors up until the beginning of the Arab Spring. It also evaluates the development of the policy after the changes of the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt until the 2014 elections which brought Sisi in power in Egypt and Essebsi in Tunisia. Following a sectoral approach to assess the implementation of the ENP, Christos Kourtelis investigates which interest groups win and which lose from the policy.--
