European Foreign Policy and the Challenges of Balkan Accession

The Balkan countries have responded differently to the EUs 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 why 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 behaviour 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 EUs 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 EUs state-building policies in the Balkans, a geographical area of the highest priority for the EUs foreign policy and a test case for its 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 com-parative politics, and those focusing on policy impact in EU integration.

Gergana Noutcheva is Assistant Professor in International Relations and European Foreign Policy in the Department of Political Science at Maastricht University, the Netherlands.
