ROCHA PINO, Manuel de Jesús. The Foreign Policy of the European Union in Central Asia: From Political Conditionality to Pragmatism. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2012, vol.12, pp.731-777. ISSN 1870-4654.

This research's objective is to describe the trajectory of the European Union political approach towards the ex soviet Central Asian countries since 1991 and its evolution maintained until the present. The EU policies towards Central Asia have changed from a model of European financial and technical aid granted under conditional criteria to a relationship based on a pragmatic approach. The research summarizes the ideas generated from Europe about Central Asia, seeking to answer a basic question: Which European ideas on Central Asia have served as guides in the UE's foreign policy towards the region?

Palabras llave : asymmetry; TACIS Programme; partnership and cooperation agreements; political conditionality; normative power.
