Europeanization and Regionalization in the EU's Enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe Summary

Europeanization and Regionalization in the EU's Enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe: The Myth of Conditionality by J. Hughes

This book is a study of EU conditionality and compliance during the enlargement to the Central and Eastern European candidate countries. EU conditionality for membership is widely understood as having been a driving force for Europeanization, providing incentives and sanctions for compliance or non-compliance with EU norms, such as the 'Copenhagen Criteria' and the adoption of the acquis communautaire . By taking regional policy and regionalization as a case study, this book provides a comparative analysis of the effects of conditionality on the Central and East European countries and explores the many paradoxes and weaknesses in the use of EU conditionality over time.

Europeanization and Regionalization in the EU's Enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe Reviews

'well-structured and convincing book...at last, I have finally encountered a book that deals with the complexities of European Union conditionality without surrending to the easy depiction of the colonial-type pure power asymmetry which leaves no room for counteractions...this book constitutes one of the most in-depth and best documented studies on not only the standing criteria to comply with and the difficulties of implementation, but also the informal pressures (page 2) which offer a deeper understanding of enlargement process as a dynamic ineraction between institutional incentives and rules and domestic transition factors...the main interest lies in the dynamic research methods of the authors, largely based on a number of very valuable interviews with EU officials and the local and regional elites'. - Cristina Blanco Sio-Lopez - Environment and Planning
