EU Funds in the New Member States

More about the book

Focusing on the challenges faced by new EU member states in accessing development funds, this study highlights the often-overlooked impact of political factors, specifically party politicization, alongside administrative capacities. Employing fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis and detailed case studies, it offers a nuanced exploration of absorption issues since accession. Scholars of EU cohesion policy, post-accession compliance, and post-communist politics will find valuable insights within its pages.
