Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

Official documents have long described Enlargement as the European Union's most successful policy, extending an area of peace and democracy across the continent. In Southeastern Europe (SEE), a region marked by the legacy of authoritarianism and the wars of the 1990s, this self-proclaimed transformation project has met its greatest challenge to date.

From the EU side, the integration of Southeastern Europe has significant implications for the further development of the European project and its democratic legitimacy. Meanwhile, for the SEE states, membership of the European Union (EU), whether as a goal or as a reality, has become a central focus with a deep-reaching impact on domestic institutions, politics and policies.

The course examines the EU-SEE relationship, tracing its evolution from the Cold War to the present, investigating the changing mechanisms and processes involved, and attempting an evaluation of the Enlargement policy's effectiveness in meeting its declared goals. Themes of the course include the concept and practice of political conditionality and the role of Southeastern Europe as a laboratory for the study of Europeanisation.
