The challenge to authoritarianism that has swept throughout North Africa and the Middle East prompted, at a superficial level, unprecedented responses on the part of the EU. European reactions to events have entailed the mobilization of a very broad range of foreign policy instruments. The ongoing transition processes in the Arab world precisely in Egypt, represents a major challenge for the European Union. The EU responded to this challenge by pledging to refocus its policies on building deep democracies, promoting inclusive growth, and developing civil society partnerships with its neighbors. So after the Arab Spring, it assesseed how far EU policies have really changed towards Egypt and how its policies still provided an appropriate framework for EU action in a quickly evolving region
