This book examines the relationship between the Czech Republic and
the European Union (EU). The authors examine the Czech Republic's
road to EU membership in 2004 and assess how EU accession has
affected or changed the Czech Republic, including its domestic
politics, governing institutions and public policies. It also
examines how the Czech Republic has behaved as an EU member state,
addressing the questions: What are the Czech Republic's interests
in the EU and how has it sought to influence EU policymaking? How
have Czech interests and behaviour been shaped by the country's
position as: a new member state; a small member state; a relatively
poor member state; and a post-communist member state? The book also
addresses the Czech Republic's preparations for assuming the EU
presidency in January 2009, and evaluates the actual conduct of the
presidency. Although a case study of a single member state, this
book sheds light on a number of broader points or issues pertaining
to the EU and its member states. It contributes to academic debate
and knowledge about the EU and European integration, including the
debates on Europeanization and the role of small states in the EU.
This book will of interest to students and scholars of the European
Union, European politics and Post-Communist politics.
