The European Union's Democratization Policy In The Middle East

As a non-state actor in international politics,the EU has become increasingly important in the international community.The proximity of the Middle East to the Middle East gives the European Union a variety of needs in the Middle East.In terms of economic and trade,middle eastern countries are important trade export markets of the EU.In energy,the Middle East is one of the EU'S main energy supplies,and the European Union's oil and gas imports are mostly from the Middle East.On immigration,the European Union relies on cooperation with middle eastern countries to combat illegal immigration into Europe.In addition,because of the role of the EU'S "Normative Power",the European democratic values have a natural advantage.Driven by both reality and internal dynamics,the European Union began its democratization policy in the Middle East,however,is different from the "great democracy in the Middle East plan" in the United States,the European Union on a process call Barcelona,European neighbourhood policy and relevant policies of the union for the Mediterranean terms and with the aid of economic aid and political dialogue as well as democratic aid means in the Middle East to implement their own democratic policies,and then output the democratic values of EuropeBut the "Arab spring" and refugee crisis erupted in Europe makes the unprepared,flustered the EU at the same time in the positive response of the good-neighborly policy in Europe and the Mediterranean union conducted two adjustments.Twice to adjust the focus of each are not identical,the Arab spring movement European Union will unrest in the Middle East as the opportunity of promoting democratic transition in the Middle East,and the depth of the democratization of the new requirements are put forward.On top of that,the EU has stepped up its support for economic aid to troubled countries in the Middle East.In terms of the impact of the EU'S assistance,this paper,through the collection of relevant data from the freedom house and the world bank,found that there was no substantial change in the level of democratization in the unstable countries in the Middle East.Therefore,the adjustment of the EU policy is not obvious to the democratic transition of Middle East countries.Again after the outbreak of a refugee crisis in Europe,the European Union to adjust its good-neighborly policy with the union for the Mediterranean,unlike before,the adjustment of the policy even more highlighted for immigration governance,in order to deal with the refugee crisis in Europe.It can be said that after the refugee crisis,EU policy adjustment pays more attention to the real interest.The stability of the Middle East should be maintained as the foothold of its policy.And gave up the principle of "deep democratization" and"more reform to get more aid".Of course,the adjustment of this policy has certain positive significance to alleviating the refugee crisis in Europe,and it also plays a positive role in promoting the democratic transformation of middle eastern countriesLooking at the adjustment of the Middle East policy in the EU in two crises,the EU,despite its timely response and active adjustment,still lacks foresight in its policies.While the EU'S goal of promoting democratization in the Middle East has not changed,it has become more pragmatic.At the same time,differences between EU members,the European Union and the US are also growing.In the future,the EU needs to have a more specific strategy of democratization in the Middle East on the basis of multilateralism in the process of democratization in the Middle East.In addition,the EU should pay more attention to the real needs of the people in the Middle East and to seek deeper cooperation with the United States.
