Abstract: 
Among European Neighborhood Policy countries, Azerbaijan stands out,
because it leans on its resource base and sees the EU on the receiving
end of bilateral relations. At the other extreme, Ukraine depends on EU
cooperation. A comprehensive theoretical concept for analyzing both
types of asymmetries is developed by considering Ukraine's and
Azerbaijan's rational cost-benefit and constructivist, norm-oriented
national strategies. Both national strategies are contrasted with
bilateral, regional, and multilateral EU approaches to democracy
promotion, economic cooperation, Justice and Home Affairs cooperation,
and conflict resolution in the European neighborhood. The elements on
which the EU's Neighborhood Europeanization strategy should be based for
maximal effectiveness are considered.
