In May 2004, eight former Eastern Bloc countries joined the
European Union: the three Baltic republics, Poland, Hungary, the
Czech and Slovak republics, and Slovenia. What is involved in
"accession"? How have accession dynamics affected and been affected
by the domestic politics of candidate countries and their adoption
of EU rules?
In this carefully designed volume of original essays, the
editors have brought together a group of scholars with firsthand
research experience in the new member-states of Central and Eastern
Europe. Framed by opening and concluding chapters by Frank
Schimmelfennig and Ulrich Sedelmeier that outline several aspects
of preparation for accession, the empirical case studies discuss a
variety of topics, including democracy and human rights, the reform
of state administrations and economic, social, and environmental
policies. This book demonstrates the importance of the credibility
and the costs of accession conditionality for the adoption of EU
rules in Central and Eastern Europe.
