Book The European Union and Central and Eastern Europe

Download or read book The European Union and Central and Eastern Europe written by Dimitris Papadimitriou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the European Union (EU) in Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) and its ‘near abroad’ has attracted much scholarly attention over the past few years. Notwithstanding the successes of the EU’s eastwards enlargement, the ‘transformative power’ of the EU in the region has often been called into question, both in terms of its depth and longevity. This book addresses a number of key questions: What determines EU performance in post-communist Europe? What are the conditions that influence it? How does the projection of EU power differ between its enlargement policy and the European Neighbourhood policy? To answer these questions this volume brings together a wide range of case studies, based on different approaches and methods, but with a single analytical focus on ‘performance’. The book’s coverage and focus will be of interest to academics, practitioners and students interested in the EU, CEECs, pre- and post-enlargement studies and more widely to those interested in the international relations and the governance of wider Eastern Europe. The chapters of this book were originally published as a special issue of East European Politics.

Book Central and Eastern Europe in the EU

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008, the EU has been in almost permanent crisis mode. It is witnessing new dimensions of internal differentiation among its member states, and the migration crisis has shown that the Central and Eastern European countries (CEEs) in particular are slowly but certainly transforming themselves from predominantly passive policy-takers towards becoming more active players in the process of shaping the EU’s governance agenda. This edited volume offers the first comprehensive and critical insight into how the CEEs position themselves in the EU’s changing internal and external environment, their stance towards the European integration process under current crisis conditions, and what political and economic strategies they prioritize.

Download or read book Recreating Europe written by Alan Mayhew and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-16 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the fall of Communism, countries such as Hungary and Poland have experienced a spectacular transformation into democracies with market economies. Ten countries in central Europe have now applied for membership of the European Union, which they regard as the final step on the road back to the heart of Europe. For the European Union, this enlargement provides a significant challenge to its capacity for change and flexibility. In this book a former leading European Commission official investigates the relationship between the European Union and countries of central Europe as it is today. He examines the detail of the association agreements, and provides the first analysis of their operation in key areas like trade and competition policy. Part III of the book considers the costs and benefits of enlargement and investigates the key problems in both east and west, including the Common Agricultural Policy, EU structural funds, budgetary policy and migration. Finally, the book investigates alternative strategies for enlargement.

Book Reviewing European Union Accession

Download or read book Reviewing European Union Accession written by Tom Hashimoto and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2017 has been an uneasy one for the EU, with so-called Brexit on the horizon and the rise of populist euroskepticism in a number of Member States. This year, with the tenth anniversary of the Romanian and Bulgarian accession to the Union, is a good year to pause and reflect over the life and future of the Union. In this work, we envision the next decade with Europe 2020 strategy and review the fruits of the 2004 accession in Central and Eastern Europe. What has the Union achieved? Which policy areas are likely to change and how? How successful, and by what measure, has the accession of the 10 Member States in 2004 been? Reviewing European Union Accession addresses a wide range of issues, deliberately without any thematic constraints, in order to explore EU enlargement from a variety of perspectives, both scientific and geographical, internal and external. In contrast to the major works in this field, we highlight the interrelated, and often unexpected, nature of the integration process – hence the subtitle, unexpected results, spillover effects and externalities.

Book Ideologies of Eastness in Central and Eastern Europe

Download or read book Ideologies of Eastness in Central and Eastern Europe written by Tomasz Zarycki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the countries of Eastern Europe, which were formerly part of the Soviet bloc have, since the end of communist rule, developed a new ideology of their place in the world. Drawing on post-colonial theory and on identity discourses in the writings of local intelligentsia figures, the book shows how people in these countries no longer think of themselves as part of the "east", and how they have invented new stereotypes of the countries to the east of them, such as Ukraine and Belarus, to which they see themselves as superior. The book demonstrates how there are a whole range of ideologies of "eastness", how these have changed over time, and how such ideologies impact, in a practical way, relations with countries further east.
