Produktbeschreibung
The fifth enlargement of the EU to include Central
and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) has led to the
creation of new policy instruments, which will become
a common feature in future enlargement rounds of the
Community. Drawing on policy transfer literature and
new forms of governance, this book explores the role
of the EU and its administrative conditionality in
shaping the public administration reforms in Central
and Eastern Europe (CEE). It analyses the
introduction of the twinning exercise as well as
the procedural changes which had to be introduced in
order to facilitate the secondment of member states
civil servants to administrations in CEE. While
emphasizing a new tendency in EU policymaking, the
use of the semi-voluntary forms of coordination among
its member states and the applicants, it is argued
that the substantive policies of the enlargement
process allow for the transfer of institutional
models. The book regards the introduction of the
twinning exercise as mainly driven by lesson-drawing.
It argues that, in the long run, the policy outcome
of twinning projects is convergence in form of
hybridisation rather than compliance on the basis of full transfer .
