The EU has been continuing its efforts in widening as the latest accession of Croatia and ongoing negotiations with other Central and Eastern European countries indicate, yet the level of deepening the solidarity among the member states to achieve an ‘ever closer union’ has been stagnant or weakened. In particular, the gradual rise of nationalism in both Eastern and Western Europe alongside an escalating tension between pro-Europeans and Euro-sceptics also call for the reexamination of the EU’s achievements and challenges ahead. In reviewing the present status of the EU, this research focuses on different levels of democratization among the post-communist EU member states in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the EU’s efforts in promoting democracy abroad. Specifically, the research questions what are the main factors that have contributed to a relatively successful consolidation of democracy in the Baltic States compared to the democratization of other post-communist EU member states or prospective members of the union. The case study of the Baltic States may offer significant implications for the democratic improvement of several post-communist countries or other EU membership applicants.
Abstract
The EU has been continuing its efforts in widening as the latest accession of Croatia and ongoing negotiations with other Central and Eastern European countries indicate, yet the level of deepening the solidarity among the member states to achieve an ‘ever closer union’ has been stagnant or weakened. In particular, the gradual rise of nationalism in both Eastern and Western Europe alongside an escalating tension between pro-Europeans and Euro-sceptics also call for the reexamination of the EU’s achievements and challenges ahead. In reviewing the present status of the EU, this research focuses on different levels of democratization among the post-communist EU member states in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the EU’s efforts in promoting democracy abroad. Specifically, the research questions what are the main factors that have contributed to a relatively successful consolidation of democracy in the Baltic States compared to the democratization of other post-communist EU member states or prospective members of the union. The case study of the Baltic States may offer significant implications for the democratic improvement of several post-communist countries or other EU membership applicants.
