Turkey, the European Union and the United States have always shared the same vision for the European neighborhood. Yet the greater the need for joint action, the less likely it appeared to be. Then came the Arab spring, which has transformed, once again, the tone of the debate, making a trilateral strategy for the neighborhood both more desirable and more feasible. This paper sketches out the broad contours of what such a strategy for the neighborhood might consist of and concludes that it should foresee diplomatic public and private interventions, assistance, trade and security cooperation.
