The Balkan countries have responded differently to the EU's
conditional offer of membership. This book examines the diverging
compliance patterns of the Balkan accession states and asks why
some of them have complied substantially, some only partially and
others have defied the EU. The book examines the compliance of the
Balkan states with the EU accession conditionality, arguing that
the variation in the compliance behavior of Balkan governments
hinges on three main factors - the legitimacy of the EU conditions
as seen domestically in the accession states, the costs of
compliance and the EU's ability and willingness to use its superior
power resources to impose compliance when faced with domestic
defiance. Placing important events from the most recent political
history of the Balkans in a broader historical perspective, the
author evaluates the successes and failures of the EU's state
building policies in the Balkans, a geographical area of the
highest priority for the EU's foreign policy and a test case for
the EU's capacity and willingness for foreign policy action. Based
on detailed empirical data, European Foreign Policy and the
Challenges of Balkan Accession will be of interest to scholars and
students of EU and comparative politics, and those focusing on
policy impact in EU integration.
