The major aim of this thesis is to find the factors which undermine the effectiveness of the EU’s structural foreign policy in the countries of the Maghreb. The choice of the Maghreb results from the fact that in the context of structural foreign policy little attention has been paid to this region. The region is also interesting for a several additional reasons. While Tunisia and Libya are undergoing very dynamic development (the change of regime in Tunisia, the collapse of state in Libya), Morocco and Algeria are still mainly stable states. Also, we can find significant differences in countries' attitudes towards the EU. While Morocco and Tunisia has been willing to cooperate with the EU and participate in its various structural policies, Algeria and Libya are very reluctant to closer cooperation. These differences are the most visible but not the only ones.
