This book examines in depth the impact of the EU on aspects of
the quality of democracy in eight selected post-communist
countries. Considering both the political and legal aspects of the
dynamics among institutions and focussing on inter-institutional
accountability, the book analyses how constitutional designs have
been effectively implemented to achieve this, and to what extent
this was the result of EU action.
In order to make a comparative assessment of the EU on
democracies, the book features detailed case studies according to
their different status vis-a-vis the EU, including older new member
states: Poland and Hungary; newer new member states: Romania and
Bulgaria; potential candidates: Albania and Serbia; and neighbour
and remote neighbour states: Ukraine and Armenia. Each chapter
addresses a range of dimensions and most relevant domains of
inter-institutional accountability, that is: executive-legislative
relationships; constitutional justice; decentralisation and
regionalism; and the role of ombudsman or other relevant
authorities.
Seeking to assess how important the role of the EU has been in
influencing the modes and characteristic of democracies and
fundamental rights established in these regions, this book will be
of interest to students and scholars of comparative politics, EU
politics, Post-communist studies and democratization studies."
