The EU’s Transformative Power [electronic resource] : Europeanization Through Conditionality in Central and Eastern Europe /
Grabbe, H.author.
Between 1989 and 2004, the EU's conditionality for membership had major transformative effects in Central and East Europe. The author analyses how that transformation worked in practice. She explores how the EU used its bargaining power coercively at certain key points in the membership preparations, but concludes that its primary method was soft power, through 'Europeanizing' the candidates into its norms and methods. This book explores in detail how the EU used its influence to control the movement of people, through both conditionality and Europeanization.
